Something Wooden

I stepped into an avalanche
it covered up my soul.
And even as i take the last breath of air
i still do not feel my despair.
I used to know what love is,
even if it's always left me cold.
I used to know what love is,
even if it's damned me to my death.
The feel of the weight of sand and stone,
while something wooden drives it home.
The darkness turning into a bright light,
calling me with a familiar voice that i know.
I tried to listen to your prayers,
i tried to give you what you wanted so.
But it was all beyond my means,
i didn't know how to make it known.
I'm just a humbled man,
with no place to go.
The devil took me under his wing,
promising me wealth and gold.
Then he cast me aside saying he told me so.
Oh i stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul.
And even as i take the last breath of air,
i still do not feel my own despair.
I used to know what love is,
ya even if it's always left me cold.
I used to know what love is,
even if it's damned me to my death.
Now there's only the weight of sand and stone,
while something wooden drives it home.

While something wooden drives it home.
while something wooden drives it home.
while something wooden...drives it home.
