Tonight's Decision Lyrics - Will Oldham

(And Hereafter) 

When's a crime forgiven by them 

You can never live again 

I can only advise to another 

Never, o never forsake your brother 

(Chorus:) 

And where are my friends 

And where is my family 

They've all gone away 

Though it's I who have left them 

I have heard death cry, I have heard him falter 

I have heard him lie and escape unscathed 

When he comes for me I will fuck him, o 

I will waste him in my own way 

He is scum, but he wields great glory, o 

O to live forever in some oceany glow 

Let new life rise in the face of death 

Let it rise, let it take in what can't be held 

And with life, let me rise, let me stand up high 

Let me then decide who all will die 

For with me, I'd have all of everyone burn 

And the rest suffer death in its own black blur 

(Chorus) 

Let the others cry, while our voice is still 

We will wait, we may lie like wolves in the fields 

O hold your throats in silence a while 

There is enough noise now from where they are 

In the silence lie, in the silence take 

O take in the rumor of a passing through 

The house will be empty, a house of love 

Calling out, there was nothing else for us to do 

(Chorus) 

And where are the days 

I used to be friendly
