Let Me Bathe in Demonic Light - The Mountain Goats

Down at the end of a bombed-out street

The shell of a house where my friends and me used to meet

Someday the old flesh will give way to the new

Find a functioning mirror inside and slip right through

And there, there I will be

And who, who’s coming with me?

To show me my one true face

When I arrive at my preordained place

Chain of command may be 10 years long

I emerge in Manhattan

Still young and strong

Someday the hellhound will pick up the scent on the trail

Zero in on my penthouse and then pierce the veil

And there, there I will be

And who, who’s coming with me?

To show me my one true face

When I arrive at my preordained place

Hopeless but free

Lit up like a marquee over the freeway

Where does the long trail end?

Here

Here with my new friend

Fruits of the spirit heavy on the vine

Undying hunger deep in the bloodline

Dodge the hook like a steel head

Swim right through the night

Break the surface and rise like a geyser

When my time is right

And there, there I’ll be

And who, who among you, who’s coming with me?

To show me my one true face

When I arrive at my preordained place

When I arrive, yeah

When I arrive

When I arrive
