Dead But Rising

(album: Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies - 2013)

Dear wind of Mississippi, can you call him by name?
I have followed his wings on a sunny day

I like to believe he's the chosen one
I like to believe he's the fallen one
Dead but rising

I raise the fist, raise the fist with power and fate
And wishing that his claws will grab onto my hand

I like to believe he's the chosen one
I like to believe he's the fallen one
Dead but rising

I have been to the end of waters
I have been to the end of earth
I've been over mountains and riding the storms

Dear son, your words have reached me
And for that I can carry on
I'll guide you in spirit. Today I'll be home

I like to believe he's the fallen one
I like to believe he's the chosen one
The rebirth of man heals a bleeding heart
The eagle of kings wears my father's soul

Dead but rising
