lyrics

Aces Over Eights

Everybody gets a rough ride
We get caught in the rip tide
The force of the moon won’t be denied
We’ve got earthquakes and monsoons
Holes in our pontoons
Yeah, we’re all goin’ down I just hope not soon

We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

There are dangers only fools ignore
On the ocean in a thunderstorm
We’ve got true hearts beating and we’re swimmin’ to shore
No, I don’t always do my best
Yes, I know you’ve been a witness
Still you rescue me in the way of forgiveness

We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

I remember a mighty man
Strong an oak tree, he said, “You know me
I’ll be the last man standing”
I never knew him to be faint of heart
He was wearing his time weathered black leather jacket
Leo found him lying flat on his back
He said, “I’m just lookin’ at the stars, I’m just lookin’ at the stars”

So many reasons to live
So many good gifts to give
Every sunset is grace, every sunrise redemptive

We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

This album walks up to you all nonchalant and immediately punches you in the face. You can't help but sit down and take it all in. Amazingly beautiful and full of energy. It picks you up and pushes you back down again, makes you want to cry. recordboy

Every song on this album is fantastic. It’s so intense and dark and it grooves so heavy. The lyrics deal with loss, and the record is a powerful catharsis for all who are hurting and grieving. Easily in my top five albums of all time. A masterpiece and a treasure. David Flowers
