    Title: The Big Sleep
    Album: In Bocca Al Lupo
    Year: 2006
    Genre: alternative rock, folk rock
    Lyrics:
    At the end of the road he calls everyone home
    And the fire will consume us
    Striking through to the bone
    At the end of the road you will soon hear him call
    As the congregations crumble and the chapels will fall
    And the taste on your tongue
    Well it comes yeah it comes
    With the bittersweet pang of remorse and pain
    Till the judgment is made
    The prosecution's won
    The gavel has won and justice is done
    The courtroom clears and I'm left alone on the bench
    My wife and children gone along with my defense
    The bailiff leads me back to my cell
    Like the riverman ferrying me to hell
    I can't blame them, no
    To hate me for what I've done
    I hear them whispering in the hall
    You live and die by the gun
    All I can do is sit here and pray
    I'll be forgiven on judgment day
    Tell my wife in our yard buried underneath the pine
    Theres a shoebox full of money of which I never earned a dime
    Use it to start over the way things should have been
    Live honest, and love again
    Tell my wife, tell my kids
    I never meant for this to happen
    When they flip the switch please do not stay
    I couldn't bear for you to remember me this way

    When I'm listening to this loud in the car, and he yells "I never meant for this to happen"... ooh, I just get the chills, and tears come to my eyes. The entire second half of the album (with the exception of "Steam Rising") just tells such a sad and amazing story.

    "Live honest and love again". Get's me every fucking time man. such a powerfull line. One of their best songs IMO. This just smacks me in the face every time.

    It's tragically ironic that these musicians aren't more well known. I've seen them live twice and met them all. The are ridiculously talented and interesting individuals. Cheers friends

    "Use it to start over, like how it should have been. Live honest.....and love again". That gave me chills.

    I love how they made kinda like a flat line at the end. Such a great touch.

    Anyone got a link to the alternate version of this on the Masters of Horror soundtrack? The piano and synth makes a world of difference.
