Blood of Angels

by Brown Bird
from their album Salt for Salt

Download from Free Music Archive (Click to go to download site)

Blood of Angels (lyrics by David Lamb)

I can’t make my mood match the weather I can’t make the weather do what I want so I’ve resigned myself to pry that big old sun out of the sky and I will live my days in darkness til I die

I tried to be good I was a failure so I took to taking all the good men down it wasn’t hard to do I just huffed and puffed and blew until all the two-shoes scattered underground

you could be right they might come for me at night in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door for all my spite I might never win the fight but I will rage against the light forever more

I drank the blood of angels from a bottle just to see if I could call the lightning down it hasn’t struck me yet and I would wage my soul to bet that there ain’t no one throwing lightning anyhow

Too many tries at tempting fate to call it over and you get to thinking fate’s got different plans like maybe i’m not born to die but to bring darkness to the sky and pull that goddamn sun down anyway I can

you could be right they might come for me at night in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door for all my spite I might never win the fight but I will rage against the light forever more

and oh the hopelessly tender hearted tend to sing the loudest of love but my sweet temptations turn their songs into a lie I fold the grass over all they’ve started to never see the light of the sun as they dwell in darkness so shall I

don’t try to come around here spreading sentiments of cheer you told your last white lie everything is not alright you hope, you pray you love the light of day but there’s no one up there listening tonight

you could be right they might come for me at night in angry mobs with torches bright outside my door for all my spite I might never win the fight but I will rage against the light forever more

October 5 – DC Area Benefit for the Sideshow Gathering

bally@goodmagic.com (Wayne Keyser) — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:00:32 +0000

It’s almost time for this year’s Sideshow Gathering, held this year on November 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania.

Last year’s sudden passing of the convention’s founder Franco Kopssa left the future of a smoothly-running annual event in uncertain hands. Even the most capable future organizers can’t easily replicate an event whose details had been worked out largely by one devoted man over years of increasingly popular gatherings. It is, and has been, a labor of love by all involved, clearly not done for profit.

But hey … you gotta try to carry on. So there will be benefits to help support the cause, and the next one is in just a couple of days.

The Seismic Sideshow, October 5 at the Red Palace in DC, presented by James Taylor’s Shocked and Amazed and sponsored by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!, will feature Todd Robbins, Coney Island sword-swallower Heather Holliday, demented burlesque diva Reverend Valentine of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Pretty Things Peepshow, and several stars of DC’s own Cheeky Monkey Sideshow including the magnificent Mab Just Mab, Mr. Eon; and Swami YoMahmi, plus surprise special guests!

Proceeds benefit the Sideshow Gathering and admission is just $10.
