lyrics

The fires in Montana blew the end times to our door
The cigarette sun stood amongst the haze
And me in all my anger from the feuds I can't afford
Draw comfort in the swiftness of the sword

The tall grass bows in honor of the coming of the storm
The creatures of the earth begin to flee
Racing to my destiny, my pedal to the floor
I offer up a few words to the lord

If you’re up there let me see
For a moment please
My mother’s face happy and free
From all the pain this world can be

The people of the earth rejoice the savior now has come
It is as it was said that it would be
But my heart, oh it’s hardened, no my faith’s not quickly won
I wonder where all this doubt is from

Maybe it’s my mother who was taken far too young
Maybe it’s the shit that she endured
Or maybe it’s the books she bought my daughters and my sons
With love from her before they’re even born

If you’re up there let me see
For a moment please
My mother’s face happy and free
From all the pain this world can be

The fires in Montana blew the end times to our door
