lirik lagu ballad of the inferno – john wesley harding

[verse 1]
and in the journey of my life
i got lost in the darkest wood
the way straightforward long since lost
the path behind so obvious
and at this crossroads i sat down
’cause i was lost and tired
i put my head into my hands
tried to close my eyes

[verse 2]
i heard the noises in the wood
turn into human voices
i felt myself before this time
of compromise and choice
and as i sat i seemed to dream
or if not dream, then be there
and all my middle years left
vanished into air
vanished into air
[verse 3]
and i flew with them back in timе
the light was all around me
i felt thе brightness take the strain
of all the chains that bound me
and i saw all my friends who died
and myself dead but breathing
death, he walked at my right hand
taught me how to sing

[verse 4]
i said, “please show me now your face”
he handed me a mirror
i threw it on the cold wood floor
could not make it shatter
and i collapsed upon the ground
too sick and tired of life to plead
the way behind had long since gone
nothing lay ahead
nothing lay ahead

[verse 5]
a woman’s face looked down on me
her features lost in sunlight
i had to cover up my eyes
so used were they to night
and i heard her laugh and say
“young man, i think you’re dying”
she gave me water, made me drink
and then she took me in
[guitar solo]

[verse 6]
and so i laid me down to sleep
and i woke just where she’d found me
she’d built a house of my dead dreams
built it all around me
smiling there, she looked and said
“open your eyes and look around”
and so i listened as she sang
amazed at what i found
amazed at what i found
amazed at what i found
