Jonas And Ezekial Lyrics

    I left my anger in a river running highway 5
    New hampshire, vermont, bordered by
    College farms, hubcaps, and falling rocks
    Voices in the woods and the mountaintops

    I used to search for reservations and native lands
    Before i realized everywhere i stand
    There have tribal feet running wild as fire
    Some past life sister of my desire

    Jonas and ezekial hear me now
    Steady now and don't come out
    I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
    Whose turn is it anyway?
    Anyway?

    Now when i was young my people taught me well
    Give back what you take or you'll go to hell
    It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind
    Every devil i meet becomes a friend of mine
    Every devil i meet is an angel in disguise

    Jonas and ezekial hear me now
    Steady now and don't come out
    I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
    Whose angel are you anyway?

    White - chain - rope - fear
    (hush my darling)
    Be still my dear

    A bullet in the head, now he's dead
    A friend of a friend, someone said
    He was an activist with a very short life
    I think there's a lesson here - he died without a fight

    In the war over land where the world began
    Prophecies say it's where the world will end
    But there's a tremor growing in our backyard
    Fear in our heads, fear in our hearts
    Prophets in the graveyard

    Jonas and ezekial hear me now
    Steady now and don't come out
    I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
    Whose turn is it anyway?

    Jonas and ezekial hear me now
    Steady now i feel your ghost about
    I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face
    Whose angel are you anyway?

    I said there's prophets in the graveyard
    (now i walk in beauty)
    Prophets in the graveyard
    (beauty is before me)
    Prophets in the graveyard
    (beauty is behind me)
    (above and below me)
