No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross lyrics

Now that I fell into your arms

My only lover

Give out to give in

I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell in the valley of The Dalles

Like my mother

Give wings to a stone

It's only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back

in the shade of the meadowlark

Like a champion

Get drunk to get laid

I take one more hit when you depart

I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart

Lonely vampire

Inhaling its fire

I'm chasing the dragon too far

There's blood on that blade

Fuck me, I'm falling apart

My assassin, like Casper the ghost

There's no shade in the shadow of the cross
