lyrics

The line stretched for miles up to Dead Horse Pass.
The name prophetic, over the summit at long last.
Fortune seekers at the point of no return.
Sifting through broken pieces of the ground’s dying process.
Putting your stake in the great dilemma gets you to the center of the blues.
Spend a lifetime in a fool’s gold mine, buried in the iron pyrite tombs.
Eyes rolling back, survived by playing dead.
Heartsick nostalgic, lonely antiques of the past.
Electric shocks send fire through your head.
Burning the matter of memories.
If it’s willful it’s not a tragedy.
Owning a stake in the grave dilemma gets you to the center of the blues.
Spend a lifetime in a fool’s gold mine, buried in the iron pyrite tombs.
