IN THE SHADOW OF BONES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

in the shadow of bones
in the bone shadow
I laugh all alone
while the bones battle

echoes off the stones
hear the cups rattle
you reap what you've sown
in the bone shadow

chance is all that I have left
dice are all I've known
nothing's worth anything else
so the winds have blown

I am whole unto myself
that's what my life has shown
shadows fall and darkness melts
in a world of bones

there must be a language
some better way to tell
the difference tween Beelzebub
Gabriel and Hell

the way up to the Pearly Gates
and way back down again
and how to climb out of your mind
when you reach the end

I dreamed I saw Saint Lucifer
chained upon a rock
while ravens ripped his liver out
no hands upon the clock

a demon played a fire harp
and bats flew in the air
the wheel of time broke all apart
and left me standing there

in the shadow of bones
in the bone shadow
I laugh all alone
while the bones battle

echoes off the stones
hear the cups rattle
you reap what you've sown
in the bone shadow
