Cinder Alley Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

Lovely lovely carol sue 

I see the heel of the father 

Crush the head of the serpent for you 

An' that beast who found 

His way up to your room 

You know the one the one 

Who's colors are never true 

Yeah you do 

Yet all the while 'neath 

His banner you did stand 

'Neath the shadow of his wing 

Do you remember 

Sorrow stands near an' close at hand 

Sorrow stands an' in sorrow's hand 

The burning ember 

He'll come a cinder 

Fire call the kettle black 

The dark can only hinder it 

It will not hold you back 

Nor tear you asunder 

And the good shepherd 

Lo he left all the others 

An' went to look for you 

Yes an' he did find thee 

An' with bruised hands 

He did unbind thee 

Brought you out 

Into the light of day 

He'll come a cinder 

Fire call the kettle black 

The dark can only hinder it 

It will not hold you back 

Nor tear you asunder 

O come and stand with me mother 

As we wait for the master's voice 

An' head that way together 

He'll come a cinder 

Fire call the kettle black 

The dark can only hinder it 

It will not hold you back 

Nor tear you asunder
