Armadillo Guitar

Seven

Stone by stone
Block by block
Seven prisons
Man has wrought

Seven houses
Made of stone
Seven years
Of blood and bone

We like to run
When the moon is high
With the wolves howlin' in the night
I know you'll join us by and by
Come on take another drink of life

Seventh sons
Have sang this song
Seven times
And then they're gone

Seven letters
Signed and sealed
Hand delivered
On tall white steeds

We like to dance when the flames are high
Darkened dervishes against the sky
Just like the pack that hunts at night
Come on take another drink of life

Spoken:
Sixteen fountains all ran red
As the waters boiled and bled
Resurrected from the dead
In Macapicchu
Where the twin peaks meet the sky
Where the Ulabonga River flows

Savage rhythm
Bang the drums
Tell the tales
'Til daylight comes

Tilt the glass
That holds the wine
Toast the ones
From ancient times
And as the stars
Eclipse the sky
Falling embers on the seventh night
You can almost hear them cry
Come on take another drink of life
