The Harvest Law Songtext

von Jason Molina

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