The Thief And The Leach

Folk inspired by the dark side of the human condition.

Behind The Curtains

The North Sea

You said amen I fled like a snake
I didn't look back, think twice, nor hesitate
You brought me to the table, I ate it up
Found a laugh, made my jokes, and filled my cup 

I'm not going to bring god into your home 
Though I will not doubt he's in my bones

You shook on the earth I swore you caught the ghost
As I felt the Passover The One made the toast
The blood it was drawn the flesh carved from bone
And the price it was paid the seeds had been sown

I am not trying to bring judas into your home 
But I cannot deny that he is in my bones. 

Shadows cast they pinned him up saw a face and felt the love. 
Thomas he did call checked the wounds up above.
They all cried AMEN and I fled for my mistakes
I refused to look on back thoughts were read my hesitate

And I'm not trying to bring the devil into your home
No one can deny that he is the soul.
