Roadkill Ghost Choir - Beggars' Guild

I heard this song shortly after I got to Newfoundland and it has been steadily in my playlists. I don't think I have shared this song yet.

Great song - and a cool gothy/country name for a band.

Here is a nice companion song:





Beggars Guild


Oh put it on, take it off real quick. On the bottom of the pile I'm feeling sick.
It never crossed my mind that my baby lied, no, to keep me in the beggars guild.
So I sleep all day and dream all night with the bottle in my hand I take the devils side.
I smile real big just to keep it hid, oh the truth about my lack of will.
So I run like hell from the citys glow I lose my name, my past and forget the folks I used to know.
Found home far away from the city's gates and the long reach of the government.
Oh all alone in a cold north scene in the blue sky above a plane flew over me.
The banner it pulled said, you were a fool, did you really think youd ever win?
I am taking off my dirty skin, there is nothing to refute my sin.

I fear no one. I fear no one, but you. Dont care no, no. I lied only to t-tell the truth, no.

Oh the steep demands of the higher call, oh you pawned off your word so the cars wont stall.
I burned my clothes and I gut my soul and pretend that I was never born. Ehhh ya!
Oh my, oh my look at what you have done, split your head out on the floor like youre the chosen one.
I give her my heart but she wanted no part so I sold it to an antique store.
So I dug a hole four thousand miles down to the center of the earth where I will not be found.
Memories of the moon saying see you soon, though I was always partial to the sun
I was picked up by 2 men of the law they say, Were taking you downtown forget about your call.
Hells no place for a wandering face, go take it up with Beelzebub.
You laughed as you pulled out the rug, was never really much in love.

I fear no one. I fear no one, but you. Dont care no, no. I lied only t-to tell the truth, no.


My Silver Lining

I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
There’s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road
Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong
I try to keep on keeping on
Yeah I just keep on keeping on

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I've woken up in a hotel room, my worries as big as the moon
Having no idea who or what or where I am
Something good comes with the bad
A song's never just sad
There's hope, there's a silver lining
Show me my silver lining
Show me my silver lining

I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road

I won't take the easy road
The easy road, the easy road

Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
