[Verse 1]
Come down low to the ground
Let the mother breathe you down
All the spirits swirling away
Hard to tell the form that they take
[Pre-Chorus]
Up your arms
Find your heart
Does it know what you’ll do?
[Verse 2]
Come and stand side by side
Woman, man and the battles at night
Boil that bark, braid my hair
See that smoke, hell if I care
[Pre-Chorus]
To write all of my lost brothers
Only to burn the letters
So they reach you somewhere
[Chorus]
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Dare to write all of my lost brothers
Only to burn the letters
So they reach you somewhere
[Chorus]
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for another day
[Bridge]
And I thought that my mind was folding in
And I hoped that it wasn’t the rain, but just the wind
And he spoke of holy rollers, how they glide across the hall
And he pictured them in carousels, when they were two feet tall
And he wakes up in the eye of the watchmaker's dirty glass
And he swims for all the decoys and the lives that they pass
[Chorus]
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for —
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone, be gone, be gone
Let the fight be for —
[Outro]
Be gone, be gone, be gone, be gone
Said the little one to the bad ways
Be gone for long, till you riddle my tongue
Let the fight be for another day
