That's all
That's all
Look what it got us
That's all
Look what it got us
We're in the pre-world dark again
We're in the pre-world dark again
We can hear them ringing the rescue bells
We can hear them ringing the rescue bells
It's like a tempest
Hear the bells
Then nothing
Take ten paces out across the stark black earth
Take ten paces out across the stark black earth
Ocean's face, city's face
Are the deserts' faces
Looks like shipwrecks on the moon
The moon earth-bound in flames
Then the pre-world darkness again
Then the pre-world darkness again
Someone tell me how
How to bring it down
Constellation
Of the blue gospel flame
Of the blue gospel flame
Let it burn above us
Burn right through
The shadows on the red, white, and blue
And red, and red, red
Someone cast an offering
To the weeping wind
Someone cast an offering
To the weeping wind
[Ali, cast your offering]
[Paul, cast your offering]
[Will, cast your offering]
To the weeping wind
Weeping wind
Weeping wind
To the weeping wind
Weeping wind
Weeping wind
Call in the flames
Blue gospel flame
Where are the blue gospel flames?
Where are the blue gospel flames?
That's all
Look what it got us
That's all
Look what it got us
We're in the pre-world dark again
We're in the pre-world dark again
We can hear them ringing the rescue bells
We can hear them ringing the rescue bells
It's like a tempest
Hear the bells
Then nothing
Take ten paces out across the stark black earth
Take ten paces out across the stark black earth
Ocean's face, city's face
Are the deserts' faces
Looks like shipwrecks on the moon
The moon earth-bound in flames
Then the pre-world darkness again
Then the pre-world darkness again
Someone tell me how
How to bring it down
Constellation
Of the blue gospel flame
Of the blue gospel flame
Let it burn above us
Burn right through
The shadows on the red, white, and blue
And red, and red, red
Someone cast an offering
To the weeping wind
Someone cast an offering
To the weeping wind
[Ali, cast your offering]
[Paul, cast your offering]
[Will, cast your offering]
To the weeping wind
Weeping wind
Weeping wind
To the weeping wind
Weeping wind
Weeping wind
Call in the flames
Blue gospel flame
Where are the blue gospel flames?
Where are the blue gospel flames?

La canzone è rimasta inedita fino a pochi mesi fa.
Nel frattempo il suo autore è morto, il 16 marzo 2013, a soli 39 anni, stroncato dalla sua dipendenza dall’alcol.
Nel settembre del 2001 i musicisti Jason Molina, Will Oldham ed Alasdair Roberts avevano deciso di trovarsi per iniziare una collaborazione artistica. Si erano incontrati nella fattoria di Paul, fratello di Will Oldham, in una zona rurale del Kentucky.
