The Tailor Lyrics - Destroyer Of The Void - Blitzen Trapper

I'm a long way from my home 

I was born on the raging sea 

And when I first struck land, 

With my head in hand 

I built a house out of an old oak tree 

And raised a family out of earth and electricity 

I was king of my domain 

But my fortitude had proved in vain 

And when the locusts came 

Like a summer rain 

Devouring everything that I held dear 

And all I'd worked for simply disappeared 

So I crept away 

For I had debts to pay 

And joined the army as a privateer 

Yeah, it was then, the wind it whispered 

But I would not hear

So we sailed out across the land 

Through an ocean made of sinking sand 

And though I lost my men, 

I was born again 

As a tailor in an unknown land 

With a needle and some thread in hand 

Mending suits and slacks, 

Stitching up the cracks 

In the backs of my neighbors' heads 

And soon the word, yeah, of my work, it spread through the town 

Photos 

So before the king I stood 

I said, "I come from the raging sea 

And if the truth be told, 

I am not so old 

As you may first have taken me to be 

For numbers never could apply to me 

For I'm as old as time, 

And maybe half as blind 

What some of you might call infinity 

I am the tailor of the earth and electricity."
