Last Word - Baroness

R is for the Regiments who fight the winning fight H is for the Home-fires that the folks are keeping bright O is for the Other Ranks and officers as well D is for the Die-hards who will even fight in hell E is for the Enemy, that just won't ever win S is for the Spirit of our men that won't grow dim I is for the Independence that we have to share A is for the Arms that we will always have to bear And the first word in Rhodesian is Rhodes That's the name that everybody knows It may be as Rhodesian as flag of white and green But the last word in Rhodesian is Ian R is for the Regiments who fight the winning fight H is for the Home-fires that the folks are keeping bright O is for the Other Ranks and officers as well D is for the Die-hards who will even fight in hell E is for the Enemy, that just won't ever win S is for the Spirit of our men that won't grow dim I is for the Independence that we have to share A is for the Arms that we will always have to bear And the first word in Rhodesian is Rhodes That's the name that everybody knows It may be as Rhodesian as flag of white and green But the last word in Rhodesian is Ian And the first word in Rhodesian is Rhodes That's the name that everybody knows It may be as Rhodesian as flag of white and green But the last word in Rhodesian is Ian The last word in Rhodesian is Ian

Climbing up the walls again A constant spinning wheel Though I've made the same mistake My love is never enough Spider-webs radiate Pale electric blue And I can feel the morning light Crashing down, on you You'll take your time I'll take mine And I'll wait so Patiently Drown my love in Kerosene And in the final hour Absence told my heart to wander Away Lost too long above the stars Heard the tether snap I got so high I'm satisfied I'm never coming back You'll take your time I'll take mine And I'll wait so Patiently Drown my love in Kerosene And in the final hour Absence told my heart to wander Away When I am done I'll lay in the sun And when I am done I'll lay in the sun

Cold-blooded angels in blankets of ash Alone in the southern pass There's a place in the garden Where nothing will grow But I could stay forever Where I lay every night on a forest floor Asleep with both eyes open 'Cause I need that bitter hand It struck me blind To keep my eyes from closing Pale as a rose, all the shadow it throws Over earth and sky If the rocks in my pocket Were cinder in stone I'd owe it all to nothing Wasted years on an empty road Where flies buzz around my head Now I miss the bitter hand That cut me down All the way to nothing Wasted years on an empty road Where flies buzz around my head If the dust in my pocket Were silver or gold I'd spend it all on nothing There's something waiting at the door I hear it breathing Follow even though I'm sure I should be leaving There's something waiting at the door I see it bleeding Every time I ask for more I can't believe it All I knew was hanging 'round the door I'm not sleeping anymore 'Cause I remember every single word Every little thing I can't forget Cold-blooded angels Stop staring at the sky We all pay a terrible price When we learn to fly And if I could forget you Oh, how hard I tried Please, somebody tell me How the hell did I survive?

Isak, hands in the ground Buried traces of sound scream Hem in the seed Water to salt Salt to rain Isak, tender the swine Carry the hare and the barrow home
