lord huron - ancient names

lord huron - at sea

Lonely, all on my own just like I wanted to be
Lost out at sea
I might, stay on my island for a couple of years
See how it feels

Floating, tired and lonesome like I promised to be
Lost out at sea
I might stay in my mind just for a couple of years
Face all my fears

lord huron - cursed

What I remember the most is hollering her name
and the sirens wail as we ran like hell down a strange trail
Oh, I wanna know what I did, I wanna know her game.
I wanna learn her wits and how she plays her tricks, oh, I gotta know.

Lots of booze and her kiss
These are drugs that do not mix.
I was under her spell
and today I feel like hell.
She got me going, I guess.
Who knew love would be like this?
Don't know what I'm gonna do
But I guess I gotta see it through.

Cause I don't know how to walk out of this deal.
The spell she cast on me is real.
I don't know how to right the wrongs I've done.
She bends the wills of men for fun.
I don't know how to take my own life back.
Everything she touches turns to black.
I don't know how to fight what I can't see.
That girl has laid a curse on me.

I gotta find me a cure.
I gotta clear my name.
There's gotta be some way
I hope it's not too late
To break the spell.

Yeah,
I want to get her alone.
I want to ask her why.
And look into those eyes
and see the endless night
staring back.

What kind of magic is this?
I was doomed by our first kiss.
Just a pawn in her game
I've done things that have no name.
And she'll make me do worse
If the law doesn't get me first
She has cloaked me in black
And there ain't no turning back.

There are runes on my skin.
They appear when she walks in.
I am bound by her spell.
I am chained to do her will.
I'm a goner, I guess.
Who knew love was gonna be like this?
She has cloaked me in black.
And there ain't no turning back.

Cause I don't know how to walk out of this deal.
The spell she cast on me is real.
I don't know how to right the wrongs I've done.
She bends the wills of men for fun.
I don't know how to take my own life back.
Everything she touches turns to black.
I don't know how to fight what I can't see.
That girl has laid a curse on me.
That girl has laid a curse on me.

lord huron - dead man s hand

Yellow lines in the dead of the night, I was heading back out west.
Trying to keep my eyes open wide, I'd gone days without any rest.
Saw him lying in the road looking bad about 20 yards ahead.
You come back from a trip to the east but you don't come back from the dead.

Sure as hell he was dead as they come and he was already starting to smell.
Just a kid with his hair slicked back and a knife tucked into his belt.
Was he unforgiven or just tired of living a life that never felt like his?
Though I was was worn and weary, I thought I'd bury him
and lay his soul to rest out in the desert night.

I laid him down in a grave in the sand
and he grabbed my arm with his dead man's hand.
He said: "I know I'm dead but I don't wanna lie
in a grave out here where the coyote's cry.

I stared right into the endless void
and I ain't going back if I got any choice.
I know how to live, I don't know how to die
and there ain't no thrills in the afterlife.

So lift me up out of here my friend
and I'll wander the night 'til the ages end."
Lit by the moon he walked through the sand
and he waved goodbye with his dead man's hand.

He will roam forever, haunting the desert.
He will roam forever, haunting the desert.

lord huron - ends of the earth

Ooh, ooh

Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
I'm gonna see where it leads
Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak

Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin'
Not while the

To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
If you will have a say my goodbyes to me

Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes

Out there's a a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Well if there are strangers, and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm going alone

To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
Well if you want, I will say my goodbyes to me

I was a-ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place

I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone

lord huron - fool for love

I'm leaving this place behind
And I'm heading out on the road tonight
I'm off for the hinterlands
Way up north to have taught you to stand
Before I commence my ride
I'm asking Lily to be my bride
I know there's another man
But he ain't gonna delay my plans

I know she's gonna be my wife
Gonna fall in love I'm gonna live my life with her
You know I bet he's not so tough
Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love

I've come far to find Big Jim
Well here I am and I guess you him
I see how you got your name
You're tall as hell and broad as a train
They say you a hard-born man
And the baddest guy in the whole wide land
Well I'm not afraid to fight
Let's step outside and I'll show you why

I'm humming like a revved up truck
Never mind the odds I'm gonna try my luck with her
Just tell me when you've had enough
I'm dangerous cause I'm a fool for love

You know you don't hit half bad
For my love I will lay in the grave tonight
Just wait until I catch my breath
Gonna send you off to an early death

I lie in the drifting snow
Bleeding out as it covers me up
If Spring comes before I'm found
Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground

I lost friends along my way
I knew I'd need them eventually
No I'm not afraid to die
Just mad I left Big Jim alive

I know I should've never looked back
But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that
I never should've called his bluff
I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love

I stare into the endless sky
And the sordid tale of my life go by
I drift into the great unknown
I really don't know where I'm going [2x]

lord huron - frozen pines

Deep into the night with the moonlight as my guide
I go wander through the pines and make my way to nature's shrines
and I look up to the sky and I know you're still alive,
but I wonder where you are I call your name into the dark.

I wake up in the morning and I don't know where I've been.
All alone on a mountainside, and huddled in the wind.
And it feels like I've been away for an era but nothing has changed at all.
And it feels like I was with you, but what did we do and where have you gone?

On the night you disappeared, I wish I had seen it clear.
But a strange light in the sky was shining right into my eyes.
There was no one else in sight, just the endless frozen pines.
but I wonder all they know 'cause they don't die and they don't grow.

I am ready to follow you even though I don't know where.
I will wait in the night until you decide to take me there.
Cause I know I don't wanna stay here forever, it's time to be moving on.
I don't wanna be the only one livin' when all of my friends are gone.

I will be waiting for you on the other side of the frozen pines.
I'm gonna find a way through there's another life beyond the line.
I will be waiting for you on the other side of the frozen pines.
I'm gonna find a way through there's another life beyond the line.

lord huron - hurricane

I get a thrill outta playing with fire
Cause you hold your life when you hold that flame.
I get a kick outta thunder and lightning and
tearing through the night hollering your name

I get a laugh outta starin' at darkness
And wondering why people live in the light.
I drive fast and I rumble the hardest
I don't feel alive if I ain't in the fight.

I can't sleep when there's something to do
You spend your whole life dreaming and you wake up dead.
It's a long night can I spend it with you
Cause you're oh so pretty when you stand on the edge.

Oh little darlin' don't you look charming
Here in the eye of a hurricane.
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

Oh little darlin' don't you like falling down
Through the sky like a diving plane.
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

What is life? Only visions.
When I die, I'm coming right on back for you.
Who am I? An illusion.
Would I lie? I'm coming right on back for you.

Oh little darlin' don't you look charming
Here in the eye of a hurricane.
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

Oh little darlin' don't you get lonely.
Look in my eyes gimme one more day.
Real or imagined - what does it matter?
Come inside, can I get you to stay?

lord huron - la belle fleur sauvage

What you're looking for won't be found easily
It grows upon the mountain in a sacred place
Up beyond the clouds, in ancient ground, so they say
And many men have died trekking up that away

Once he's gazed upon her, a man is forever changed
The bravest men return with darkened hearts and phantom pain
Ages come and go but her life goes on the same
She lives to see the sun and feel the wind and drink the rain

Her colors change to mark the passing of the days
No Earthly sight can match the beauty she displays
And when I die I want her lying by my side
In my grave, in my grave

I'd give it all to love that girl
I'll be the one to pluck that fleur

I'm meant to find the place where all good things begin
To smell her scent and watch her dancing in the wind
And when I die I want her lying by my side
In my grave, in my grave

I'd give it all to love that girl
I'll be the one to pluck that fleur
I'd give it all to love that girl
I'll be the one to pluck that fleur

lord huron - louisa

Good for nothing is the name they'll remember me by
done nothin' with my life for no one, I'm just waitin' to die
I turned my back on the world
you know I'd given up on livin' til I met you girl

Then you came into my life with come hither in your eyes
Pulling me outta the grave what a nice surprise
I die when our nights end, but I only stay dead til I see you again

I lie awake in the night just to see another dawn
Used to be the sun was my weakness but them days are gone
I feel your lips on mine
Will you meet me by the river, baby, one more time?

I'll give you what you wanna have, I'll take you where you wanna go
I'm the only man you'll ever need, girl, and now you know
I'll write your name on my skin, as a promise that we'll never be apart again

I feel alive when I'm with you, baby
So tell me that I won't ever be lonely again
Don't wanna die I wanna wander the world with you
and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth.

I turned my back on the world.
I wasn't always like this, girl
Do you know what loneliness does to a man?
Turn him into the walking dead
I may have died but your lovin' raised me.

I feel alive when I'm with you, baby
So tell me that I won't ever be lonely again
You saved my life I just wanna repay you in kind
ain't no one else ever tell you you're beautiful, girl?

I feel alive when I'm with you, baby.
So tell me that I won't ever be lonely again.
Don't wanna die I wanna wander the world with you
and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth

lord huron - love like ghosts

Yes I know that love is like ghosts
Oh, few have seen it, but everybody talks
Spirits follow everywhere I go
Oh they sing all day and they haunt me in the night
Oh they sing all day and they haunt me in the night

Yes I know that love is like ghosts
Oh, and what ain't living can never really die
You don't want me baby please don't lie
Oh but if you're leaving, I gotta know why
I said if you're leaving, I gotta know why
Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night

Yes I know that love is like ghosts
Oh and the moonlight baby shows you whats real
There ain't a language for the things I feel
And if I can't have you then no one ever will
Oh, if I can't have you then no one ever will

I don't feel it till it hurts sometimes
Oh go on baby, hurt me tonight
I want ours to be an endless song
Baby in my eyes you do no wrong
I don't feel it till it hurts sometimes
So go on baby hurt me tonight
All the spirits that I know I saw
Do you see no ghost in me at all
Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night
Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night
Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night
Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night

lord huron - lullaby

You arrive along with the sun
Where have you been darlin'?
What have you done?
You were out finding trouble again
There's a fire in your eyes
And there's blood on your hands

Come inside and lie down to sleep
You ain't gonna run and you know that you're beat
Rest awhile, they're coming for you
There's a price to be paid for the things that we do

Fall asleep and forget all your troubles
Dream of laughter and old friends and lovers
Dream of when you were innocent
Dream forever

Lord knows you've been 'round in your day
But this kind of trouble, won't just go away
Darlin', now you're adrift in the deep
So just lay down your head and I'll sing you to sleep

lord huron - meet me in the woods

I took a little journey to the unknown,
and I come back changed I can feel it in my bones.
I fucked with forces that our eyes can't see.
Now the darkness got a hold on me.
Now the darkness got a hold on me.

How long baby have I been away?
Oh, it feels like ages though you say it's only days.
There ain't language for the things I've seen.
And the truth is stranger than my own worst dreams.
The truth is stranger than my own worst dreams.
Now the darkness got a hold on me.

I have seen what the darkness does.
Say goodbye to who I was.
I ain't never been away so long.
Don't look back them days are gone.
Follow me into the endless night.
I can bring your fears to live.
Show me yours and I'll show you mine.
Meet me in the woods tonight.

The truth is stranger than my own worst dreams.

lord huron - the night we met

I am not the only traveler
who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
take me back to the night we met

and then I can tell myself
what the hell I'm supposed to do
and then I can tell myself
not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you,
some and now none of you
take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
haunted by the ghost of you
oh take me back to the night we met

when the night was full or terror
and your eyes were filled with tears
when you had not touched me yet
oh take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you,
some and now none of you
take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
haunted by the ghost of you
take me back to the night we met

lord huron - the world ender

I had a name but they took it from me
I was the man that I wanted to be
I had a place where I lay my head
They burnt it to the ground and the sky turned red

I had a life and a place in the world
I had a sweet talkin' wife and a beautiful girl
I know I'm never gonna see 'em again
Gonna tear the world up until I have my revenge
They took my life but it isn't the end
They put me in the ground but I'm back from the dead

I'm the World Ender, baby, and I'm back from the grave
They can run for their lives but they cannot be saved
I'm the World Ender, baby, and I'm coming for them
They put me in the ground but I'm back from the dead

You'll hear me howl in the light of the moon
That's how you'll know that I'm coming for you
Gonna find you alone in the dark of night
When the World Ender comes better run for your life

I'll never bleed and I won't ever age
I'll never feel the embrace of the grave
The fair and the brave and the good must die
I seen the other side of living, I know heaven's a lie
I'll tear through the night, and I'll raise some hell
Cause I'm the World Ender, baby and I'm back from the dead

Lord knows I should be pushing daisies
I was 6 feet down, but something raised me up
Sent back for to lift my curse
I'm gonna me a taste of some chaos first
Untied, gonna get little wild
Go screaming through the dark like a demon child
Close your eyes now, the light is fading
and the noise in the night is gonna get a little louder, baby

I'm the World Ender, baby, and I'm back from the grave
They can run for their lives but they cannot be saved
I'm the World Ender, baby, and I'm coming for them
They put me in the ground but I'm back from the dead
