As Cities Burn - Pirate Blues Lyrics
Before you, your Mom and your Dad used to
smoke in the Texas sun.
They were young once too.
And your Mom, she found Jesus
while your old man stepped out
It's quiet in the house of the old.
You can hear through grinding teeth,
clocks taking their toll.
'Cause time has a mind of its own
like our sun spinning around
it won't slow for you now.
Oh, I wanna catch in a song
notes I don't hear yet,
I've been pouring my heart up,
up through the floor boards
but you don't live here no more.
Oh, you wanna catch in a lens
color your green eyes don't see just yet.
The horsemen, they all blow out their torches.
I can see you still shining now.
You sleep in a bed for a giant
while you wait for your love to come home
but you don't know she's not coming back.
Oh, I wanna find out I'm wrong
and every road leads us home.
Oh, but I'll never know
'cause I keep my eyes closed
and only go where I've been before.
Oh, say you don't know if you don't.

As Cities Burn Pirate Blues Comments
Damn, this was my jam in high school.
man i miss these times
so much love to this band.
La mejor banda, de Indie Pos-Harcore que mis oidos han podido escuchar, sin olvidar a Emery
Lots of respect for this band, it's just a shame that this was their last album.
Too bad the new stuff sounds how it does..
What happened?
I’m here from 2019, As Cities Burn has returned
Oh these guys are so great... Pure energy and emotion
I totally agree man! check out the Joe Lane album preview on my channel i think you'd like it because it says God and Jesus quite a bit (=.
I'm sorry you have to have it spelled out for you in order to get it and poeticism is too hard for you to understand. I bet you like Nicki Minaj.
I agree, although I think Underoath wavered a bit in their final years.
Zao, the devil wears prada.
Or For Today
Sleeping giant. ever hear of them? we played with them in baltimore once and that was annointed to say the least.
have you heard For Today? they do that
my mom found jesus & my old man stepped out and drew up his veins. but time has a mind of it's own and luckily I found jesus.
@WeaponDrummer
Agraceful and Emarosa..
GO, go, go.
@WeaponDrummer - You obviously haven't listened to many Christian bands. ha. yeah, most of the more alternative/hip ones don't, but if you listen to any mainstream Christian bands, Jesus is every other word. lol.
Its funny how often I come back to youtube to make sure there aren't any more ACB songs out... it sounds like I'd be disappointed but honestly... when I hear this disapointed isnt the word that comes to mind.
@WeaponDrummer At the same time, though, I don't believe it's always fear of professing the Truth that causes bands to use metaphors to talk about Jesus. Sometimes it's honest poetic endeavors. Many of these guys will talk openly about their faith at shows, even if it isn't as explicit in their lyrics. Sometimes the theological depth and wisdom can astound when you really look at it. Admittedly, there are fakes, too.
@thousandfootkrutchro not sure if you knew this or not, but the former screamer is the singers brother.
I used to prefer the old stuff, but this is filled with so much lyrical and musical passion that after it hrew on me, I realized it was only fair to love it equally. :)
awesome saw u guys with emery so sick
@Jack1Lotto then why are you listening to it? If you don't like it, then go back and listen to your pop music. And next time you're going to leave a negative comment on something, learn how to spell a simple 4 letter word. its "Song" not "Sing"
this sing sucks so bad
@s241914 they where
@TheSynisterGates It is because the guy who screams left everyone else was the same as far as I can see but they have a new band called Hawkboy.
old stuff was so much better. different band same name
@WeaponDrummer just because you use the word "Jesus" in a song doesnt mean your a Christian band.
@andrewmadden777 beautiful
amazing song. very powerful. i love it. absolutley love it.
that's what i love about this band, i've been able to relate to any cd after Come Now Sleep they have a strange way of just being able to bleed out whatever they're feeling onto a record and it's incredible i really hate that As Cities Burn didn't get anymore well known than they were when they were together
well, that comment was 5 months ago... but I must say, "EXACTLY." so many christian bands just have this ambiguous lyrics that could be talking about God but could also be talking about some girl...
It's always interesting though to find out the meaning and inspiration behind the writers lyrics though.
that being said every single piece of music as cities burn has created is amazing.
i love how that kids commenting every single video wondering what each one means...
he needs to srsly just listen
Amazing song. my favorite on the cd ^^
