Toadvine Lyrics - The Last Pale Light In The West - Ben Nichols

I rode myself into the ground 

But hell, it's almost over now 

I don't see nothing but the light 

Darkness filled my days 

The rising sun has shown the way 

And I don't see nothing but the light 

A preacher's lesson, simply armageddon 

The devil, he knows how to write 

Killer of men, no way to save them 

Hey now we all have to die 

You wouldn't think that out here 

A man could simply run clear 

Out of country, but oh my, oh my 

Oh my, oh my, nothing but the light 

They took my ears in Omaha 

I thought me dead but I weren't at all 

And I left them bleeding in the mud 

They ran in me for horse thievery 

Between my eyes for all to see 

And I left them bleeding in the mud 

When this wall was made 

It was never meant to save everyone in kind 

I don't believe God much had me, had me much in mind 

You wouldn't think that out here 

A man could simply run clear 

Out of country, but oh my, oh my 

Oh my, oh my, there's nothing but the light 

So tell the barkeep, "What is there to drink?" 

Just a minimal risk of blindness or death 

It all taste of ashes, seems that's always what we get 

It's all they have to give 

You wouldn't think that out here 

A man could simply run clear 

Out of country, but oh my, oh my 

Oh my, oh my, 

Nothing but the light
