Black Star Riders – Valley Of The Stones lyrics

I’m a beast of burden
Spent too long at the fair
You can lead a horse to water
But I ain’t going there
I ain't going anywhere
The sky don’t look the same
I ain’t going anyplace
Where they try you by your name
Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall
God’s country been condemned
All that glitters has been sold
To buy the living end
I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones
I know that you’ve been dreaming
So dream on this awhile
Whatever makes a lover sad
Will make a hater smile
The dice are always loaded
High rollers alway win
I’m tired of cleaning up the mess
You left me standing in
Empire’s rise and kingdoms fall
God’s country been condemned
All that glitters has been sold
To buy the living end
I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones
Don’t watch the hand that’s moving
Cuz it isn’t on the gun
Don’t leave a shadow on the floor
Stand sideways in the sun
Ride cut whith the king’s horse
Raise hell with the king’s men
Take flight with everything you own
To the land of vice and zen
I’m spending days alone
Trying to cross the road of bones
Spending too much time on freeways
Through the valley of the stones
