Jason Molina The Harvest Law Lyrics

Devil on your shadow's wings
The whole world you've been balancing
And as our lot does fall
There is the law
There is the law

Paul's pictures to the harvesters
My will to the world between
My will, I have gone along
The twelve fires were gathering

Cattle on their knees tonight
Remember it
Wolf eyes bleeding
On the holy thorns

Eleventh fire -- the mountain laurel bends Tenth fire -- and how's the boy
Ninth fire -- all but one in place

Eighth fire -- two's across the door
Seventh fire -- silence, then pass

Sixth fire -- feather in the beacon
Fifth fire -- I know I'm dust
Fourth fire -- no time, no time
Third fire -- comes the law, comes the law

Second fire -- willow and the pine
First fire -- and the two worlds have crossed
