Beyond the Vale Songtext
von Bashful Billy

Oh, yes you were
Righteous as a fire and vindictive as you burned
You were perfectly mean and seldomly seen as self-aware
But a charm bore through your pompous airs

All the glass you smashed into
All the furniture you threw
But monuments to times that passed us by
Back then I′d have your head
Now I understand the depth
And intricacy of the pain you felt

Gotta run Gotta run run run beyond the vale
Gotta run Gotta run run run beyond the vale
Gotta run run Gotta run run run beyond the vale
Gotta run now. Run beyond the vale

Another dark night on memory lane
So many sticks and stones and broken bones alight the way
Yet despite all the fights we more than once would entice
The sudden state of grace and bounty
Of the gods whose ire we tried to race


All the glass you broke into
All the furniture you slew
But monuments to times that passed us by
Back then you know I'd have your head
Now the needle of your pain is mine to thread

Young hearts burnt by twenty-one
We were but powder-kegs of arrogance
And insolence. All wicks, no fuse
And oh, how I failed my coup-
Against the darkness pushing me beyond the vale

Beyond the vale
Beyond the vale
No Farewell
Beyond the vale
Beyond the vale
Sleep well
Beyond the vale
Beyond the vale
Sleep
Sleep well
