Fever Dreams
from The Woods Are Burning by Brian McGrath
lyrics
Chimney smoke in the dirty ether
I speak these words, my hands raised to God
A mournful cry and I must wander for you still
In these badlands I'm ordained to crawl
Fever dreams
Comfort me, comfort me!
In the light of the midnight sun
Fever dreams
Come for me, come for me
Oh my God, what have you done?
Among the dead trees I can feel you with me now
Emerald eyes the jewels of a devil's soul
I spend my life beholden to your troubled love
With a wicked grin I'm devoured whole
Fever dreams
Comfort me, comfort me!
In the light of the midnight sun
Fever dreams
Come for me, come for me
Oh my God, what have you done?
Fever dreams!
The wind it whispers
Breathes out my name
I must move through the pain
I live among, I live within my fallen gods
I live in fear that I'll never awake
I speak these words, my hands raised to God
A mournful cry and I must wander for you still
In these badlands I'm ordained to crawl
Fever dreams
Comfort me, comfort me!
In the light of the midnight sun
Fever dreams
Come for me, come for me
Oh my God, what have you done?
Among the dead trees I can feel you with me now
Emerald eyes the jewels of a devil's soul
I spend my life beholden to your troubled love
With a wicked grin I'm devoured whole
Fever dreams
Comfort me, comfort me!
In the light of the midnight sun
Fever dreams
Come for me, come for me
Oh my God, what have you done?
Fever dreams!
The wind it whispers
Breathes out my name
I must move through the pain
I live among, I live within my fallen gods
I live in fear that I'll never awake
