Moonchild Lyrics

Moonchild...

Well it's a righteous dream
But out of mind, yeah
A righteous dream
But out of mind, yeah

Tend the horses
Let 'em crawl
Put 'em in their cages

That's righteous for the soul

Open your eyes
And despite what's deep
Longevity
Well, that's righteous for the weak

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Well it's a righteous day
But out of mind, yeah
And I give your last rite
Oh, it's a righteous day
Never return, I will wait no more
Take no prisoners in the promised war
You'll die for this
Die for this
Take them

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down

Moonchild
Lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Moonchild
Here come the silver pieces
Can't you see
You're losing me

Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Moonchild
Lower me down
Moonchild
Lower me down down down down down down

Revisit to an empty hall
You can't see I've been burned before
Well they tear you down and they'll bear your shame
Longevity hear my pain

Moonchild (lower me down)

And I'm waiting, and I'm raging
And I'm waiting, and I'm raging
And a white moon falls, a black moon calls
Waiting to defy the One


Moonchild (lower me down)

Longevity, longevity
I melt down where I burned before
Longevity, longevity
I melt down where I burned before
And I know where you lay
I melt down where I burned before
And I know where you lay (down, down, down)
Okay

Moonchild
