ember knight - mvt. vii - home lyrics
[intro]
all in good time you’ll bring me home
all in good time you’ll bring me home
[verse 1]
the people said to st. francis “why are you crying?”
said st. francis “i’m so f_cking tired i fear i will die”
and just like that the birds and the beasts and the wild dogs descended upon him
and as they tore his body to ribbons we screamed “why god why”
well one of those doggies still dripping with frank
ran off westward towards the north pacific ocean
till she breathed in her very first sight of that sparkling sea
and she drank from that big sky whatever a dog calls emotion
feeling just like you did when you gutted your favorite stuffed dog for me
she barked into the wind:
[chorus]
i will not edit creation
i will not inherit the earth
i won’t heal every scab on this body
before i’m returned to the dirt
but i praise the sh_t on my feet lord
and i praise the salt in my eyes
regardless of my bad behavior
i will still have the privilege to come on home
[verse 2]
walter put down his pencil and gazed at his creation
he said “mortimer baby we’re never ever ever ever ever ever gonna die”
then he climbed in the icebox clutching his new legislation
to wait for a world without jews or labor standards or non_villainous queer people
but somewhere some other man picked up some other pencil
and drew a picture of mickey mouse with an erection saying
‘f_ck the vietnam war’
and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
smashed down his kitchen door
and as they dragged him outside by the ankles he solemnly swore
as they marched through the streets / as he came to the stand
he was p_ssing himself / as the judge banged the gavel he said
‘order in my court boy / what the h_ll are you laughing about
do you think this is some kind of joke?’ / he said ‘man don’t you know:
[chorus]
i will not edit creation
and i will not inherit the earth
i won’t heal every scab on my body
before i’m returned to the dirt
so take from me all i’ve acquired
take from me my view of the sky
regardless of my most heroic behavior
i’ll still be required to come on home
i know i’m gonna come on home
oh mama i know i’m coming home to
[verse 3]
you gave me my face and i’ve lost it a little each day
you gave away the best years of your life for mine
and i can’t repay you that time
no i can’t repay you at all
[verse 4]
but i didn’t ask to be born any more than the next motherf_cker
still i’ll shoulder your burden and carry it up the next flight of stairs
till i rot like a skeleton in some pirate movie
for the next brave kid to discover
and n0body can tell me that that isn’t perfect and that isn’t fair
h_ll if i know where i’m going but i’ll see you there
