Lyrics Destroyer of the Void - Blitzen Trapper

Destroyer of the Void

Here’s to the Lone and Wayward son
For to love is to leave, for to run like a rolling stone
I fell in with men who were wicked in the end
As we roam by and by so these crimes multiply, yeah
See this wayward son, boy
May you live to run another day
Dark is the heart and dreams will come
To the swift and the dead, to the poor and the wayward son
My love can’t you see just what’s happening to me
All I touch turns to sand, slipping out through my hand, yeah
I can see the future in your eyes, shining like a million skies
Over all, over all my petty crimes I perpetrate
I know you should hate me, but you celebrate me
Every time I’m on your side, my eyes open wide
The future’s wingin' like a bird out over the void
And all my petty crimes and curses, they are destroyed
I know you should hate me, but you elevate me
Up into the stratosphere, I no longer care
That I am terrified, alright, yet you are the cure
'Cause all my petty crimes and curses, they disappear
I can feel the future in your skin, catch the spirits as they spin
All around, all around my petty crimes I perpetrate
I know you should hate me, but you rearrange me
Comin' off the startin' line, a hammer and twine
The future’s wingin' like a bird out over the void
And all my petty crimes and curses, they are destroyed
Now, a serpent spoke to me
He was hanging from a pale and nameless tree
Upon the plain, where the gods are all insane
His voice was like the wind that blows
A thousand crows all rising into flight
Upon the night, alright, look out
So, now, I left him in his tree, stole some horses
Took the road that runs in circles to the sea
But, the snake, he followed me, so I hopped a ship, a silver seed
Past galaxies and stars we speed, to endless planets, worlds unknown
Where will you go when our love’s gone?
When this world of ours is nothing more than a long lost song?
This road that we’re on, is it where we both belong?
As the years disappear, will you wait for me here?
See this wayward son, boy
May you live to run another day
