Story Behind the Song
The Horse Shoe Pitts (me, Phil Costanzo, Sean Bobak and Mike Chamberland) recorded this song at Cana Creations Studios in Front Royal, VA in the summer of 2000. I'm playing the electric guitar in this recording (this was before Dan Schreck joined our band) and Phil and Sean are doing acoustic, with Mike on drums. An interesting thing about this recording is that there's no bass -- but do you really miss it that much? Anyway, we only took one day to record this song, which may explain some of the sloppiness with the vocals! Kudos to Sean Bobak for the awesome acoustic riff in the beginning and end, though.
Lyrics
Dragons, lies, whores, derns and snares
you lock me in this dungeon and I stare
I sit and stare away at the black wall
Oh no, Oh look, it's coming through
I can feel myself getting closer to you
And I know I know I can't do this anymore
Is this the longest I've been silent?
Can I speak again without causing violence?
Is this all the truth or just a fable?
Can I speak again -- but I'm not able
Peter said to me, come on, I am your brother
move the mountains, walk on water, just goes to show ya
If you really want to be with me then you will see now
Trust in me, trust in me.
Escape my ship, the devils run, and the storm you see is moments come
and waves crash against my boat now
Oh no, Oh look, what have I done
have I denied my saviour, the only one
and left my ship upon this shore, I know I can't do this anymore
