lyrics

You know it goes to show
That all that glitters is not gold
And all you think you know
Is no more than a flake in the snow
And so it goes, the more it snows

And all you've come to love
Is a burning fire faced with a flood
And all your little plans
Get washed away like the dunes of sand in the storm
Be warned

And this which we've begun
Is just a puddle in the sun
Our time is drawing near
You know it my dear

'Cause I've fallen down into this place that I know
But one day, soon I'll have to go
It's alright, I'll fight for you my friend
But I know death is reaping again

I've got six stones in my pocket
It's dragging me down, they've got me on my knees
I've got a rope around my neck now
And its pulling me straight to the place below my feet

And I'm going down to burn today
And I hoped it would turn out another way
And I'm going down to burn today
And you know I wish I could stay

But I've fallen down into this place that I know
But one day, soon I'll have to go
It's alright, I'll fight for you my friend
But I know death is reaping again
And I know the dusk is creeping in
And I know this will be my end
And I know that death is reaping again

The Blackshots Eau Claire, Wisconsin

Born in a barn, The Blackshots strove to drown out the din of clucking chickens and chirping birds by exuding the hues within their restless minds. But rural Wisconsin is not to be trifled with and its influence crept its way in through the knotholes. The otherworldly etherea driving The Blackshots' sound never forgets its environment and rides the delicate line between the sane and the insane. ... more
