Fields Of Coal Lyrics - The Century Of Self - And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Well I had a dream that I received a prophecy 

Predictions and vision to be written by me 

But I didn't want them to come true, I was afraid 

So I decided to run away 

But what could I run to, where could I go? 

If I showed my face, all the angry prophets would know 

I rand into the wilderness, ran into the cold 

I screamed why, oh why did I ever run away? 

Don't disturb those fields of coal 

For they may turn to gold 

And if they break you, don't let them run away 

With your soul 

Knights in white lighting shot out of the remote 

They said stand and be reckoned, I begged please, let me go 

They said uh-uh, no way, you've gotta come true 

We can't let you run away 

But I was taught by my mother not to do as I was bid 

I always tried to do good but I was just a bad kid 

They kicked me out of their schools, they didn't like what I did 

And since then I've always been a little runaway 

Don't disturb those fields of coal 

For they may turn to gold 

And if they break you, don't let them run away 

With your soul 

I had a dream that I was an alien 

And in a ship of white diamond I was encircling the sun 

But the ship lost control, I got too close, and I couldn't turn away 

The force of its gravity sucked me right in 

But it didn't burn solid like the other suns did 

Inside was a stage and they wanted me to play 

I screamed why, oh why? Would you just let me run away? 

Don't disturb those fields of coal 

For they may turn to gold 

And if they break you, don't let them run away 

With your soul
