Family Song For The Leaving
Eternal Departures: Unraveling the Mystical Essence in All Them Witches' Melody
Lyrics
Stay gone, are you a heavenly host?
Questioning if the listener is a divine being.
Don't come around, casting off old dogs and all their ghosts
Advising against returning, abandoning past relationships and their lingering memories.
Trouble coming for me
Anticipating and acknowledging forthcoming challenges or difficulties.
Trouble coming for me
-Trouble coming for me
-Take up your sage as a broom
Encouraging the use of sage as a symbolic tool for cleansing or purification.
Casting off the countenance of death in all it's gloom
Rejecting the ominous presence of death and its gloom.
Trouble coming for me
Reiterating the expectation of impending troubles.
Trouble coming for me
-Trouble coming for me
-Come all you Christians and lay down your blood
Calling on Christians to make a sacrifice, possibly symbolic, involving blood.
Feeling poor old backs to break, no love here to find
Expressing a sense of hardship, with the absence of love.
Trouble coming for me
Repeating the anticipation of trouble, emphasizing its inevitability.
Trouble coming for me
-Trouble coming for me
-
