Mark Morton – Axis lyrics

(feat. Mark Lanegan)

[Verse 1: Mark Lanegan]
I came down with a fever
The catacombs, they were filled
Lucifer within my larynx
Clothing a sarcophagus

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Lanegan]
Baby set my head on fire
Every man is born to die
The captain called me out on a carpet boys
You know I got a tear in my eye

[Chorus: Mark Lanegan]
I have been lost and wandering
A wanderer I remain
Met Judas in west Texas
Tried to take my name
Now I am lost and wandering
And wandering I am plain
Will the moon come off its axis
Before I lose my mind?

[Verse 2: Mark Lanegan]
I came down with a sickness
Pouring down just like rain
Red, red sun in the evening
Red, red heart full of pain

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Lanegan]
Baby set my head on fire
Every man is born to die
The captain called me out on a carpet boys
You know I got a tear in my eye

[Chorus: Mark Lanegan]
I have been lost and wandering
A wanderer I remain
Met Judas in west Texas
Tried to take my name
Blood is worth much more than money
That's a poison crown
Tell the snake that bit me honey
It's gonna take me down
Now I am lost and wandering
And wandering I am plain
Will the moon come off its axis
Before I lose my mind?

[Guitar Solo: Mark Morton]

[Outro: Mark Lanegan]
Will the moon come off its axis?
Will the moon come off its axis?
Will the moon come off its axis?
Will the moon come off its axis?
