McMorrow, James Vincent - Down The Burning Ropes Lyrics
When the hills let go
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover
On a ship filled with ghosts
It's something to behold
With twisting little braids in their hair,
They take off their coats and throw
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,
Crying out
The stones they float, the stones they float
Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float
Down the burning ropes
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies
You make your bed under the moonlight
Cause nothing moves in the warm air
And words that once would cut like a knife,
They just hang in the cloud and you're
Pushed by the lord,
But you're pulled by the crowds and
You're overboard, you're overboard
Oh my God, she's overboard
My love she's overboard
She's overboard
My love she's overboard
There's not a shell unbroken
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay
It's not the time to be hanging around here
You know what some might say
That people get too reckless
That even with the simplest of crimes
They leave, blood behind,
As I clean the knife for the very last time
I think she knows, I think she knows
Oh my God, I think she knows
I think she knows

questions i thought morrison was torturing supershock all theses years was i wrong? did christian just realize that he was so mentally unstable that this was the only way to stop him. appealing to supershocks paranoia that morrison is causing everything did christian sacrifice himself to save the world? and is he ascending to becoming a god the ending blew me away and it seems almost like the bible. he commited the ultimate righteous sacrifice and was chosen to be given another chance. the world needs diamond
In both the comics and here you see Supershock, a hero that is old and apparently ageless slowly fall to dementia. More correctly, you finally see what was true this whole time. In the comics, Deena convinced another superhero to stop Supershock (which she does just after Deena's heart was torn from her chest). In this one, since the superhero that stopped Supershock in the comics hadn't been introduced, Christian walker played into Supershocks's dementia and convinced him to kill himself and his arch nemesis. The light at the end looks like the beginning of a new plotline that is also from the comics. I won't spoil it here though.
Thumbs up for Powers!
Did anyone come here from "Powers"?
Me ohh bruv so sad
Yes man, im soo sad😣😢

SuperShock wasn't bad, he did what he had to do to destroy Morrison.
Im a few years late but me too
I love song, my favourite of the album. Simple tune with real sinister lyrics. It has a great dark feel to it. Put headphones on, shut your eyes and create some pictures in your head.
I have no idea what you are saying, but the melodies, the mix, wow!
One of the best songs I've ever had my ears be blessed with. Thank you,
+Joshua Cabe Johnson Lyrics are in the description ;)
Silly me, :)
Long time ago that I was so impressed by a single song.. Heard this one at my local bar today and was instantly hypnotised.
This has been my favourite song since this album came out in 2011. I've got an appointment to get my next tattoo as a beautiful traditional ship with a banner saying "my love, she's overboard" I'm stoked
I love the sound of that tattoo!
K Alexandra Awesome! did you get it?
bueatiful harmony love the beat and the banjo<3
8 people are deaf apparently.
Karma Daughter seriously 14 people don't like this song? that's crazy!
When the hills let go
Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover
On a ship filled with ghosts
It's something to behold
When the paper thin girls
With twisting little braids in their hair,
They take off their coats and throw
Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,
Crying out
The stones they float, the stones they float
Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float
Down the burning ropes
Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies
You make your bed under the moonlight
I think it's time we said goodbye
Cause nothing moves in the warm air
And words that once would cut like a knife,
They just hang in the cloud and you're
Pushed by the lord,
But you're pulled by the crowds and
You're overboard, you're overboard
Oh my God, she's overboard
My love she's overboard
She's overboard
My love she's overboard
There's not a shell unbroken
In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay
It's not the time to be hanging around here
You know what some might say
That people get too reckless
That even with the simplest of crimes
They leave, blood behind,
As I clean the knife for the very last time
I think she knows, I think she knows
Oh my God, I think she knows
I think she knows
thank u ^^
Anyone who dislikes this is a twat
Your acceptance is appreciated. Thank you
Haunting
Love this song!
I think its been about 2 years since I first heard this song and to this day I'm still obsessed.
Eeeeerie! Beautiful. Ghostly.
I'm IN LOVE with this song
so I found this track just today but I recognize it a lot. is it featured in any movie or trailer or something?
Juppo123
Powers
is a tv show.
fuck, there is just too many awesome songs on the sidebar :o
Say what you like, but words are not enough.
OMFG... Hell yeah
This song is too beautiful!
[softly] dont
If you dont listen to them you need to learn ANATHEMA.
This is the voice of god.
I would like to thank Pink Bike for introducing me to another totally boss song!
Frisson. No 'i'.
It's called 'frission' =)
Where has this song been all my life.. ??
speechless,what a voice...,what a song,...This man is living God
:) jakie miłe dla ucha...
loving it
how people can like nicki minaj when we have this!? love that song.
This songs good but I read it was about a murderer
Gosh I absoluetly love pretty much every song by him, especially this one, but I don't think I really understand the lyrics. What do you guys feel this song is about?
Had to listen to all I could find on youtube tonight....shared on FB. What else can I do to spread your lovely artistry? Thank you for your inspiration - this music uplifts in energy - and for someone who is energetically sensitive - I can listen to it and I can love it!
sound exactly like that live too...
Does anyone think they know what this song means? So beautiful, but its so confusing at the same time!
you are so right i hate how people nowadays think they can just go around making shitty versions of amazing songs but when we - the ones who have a good ear for music- have these untouched beautiful songs its great
You almost make me not want to enjoy this song.
Two people don't think she knows
I love the lyrics and the progessional sound throughout the song. I believe the song is about cheating and attempting to stop but realizing that is can get beyond control.
As the song builds up, it sounds like he meets the girl, get infatuated, does the dirty, can't break it off, and eventually gets caught
Loved this song sooo much i just haaad to sing it. :) xstarxeyesx
His voice. I like that shit.
I'd say this is the best song on the album which makes me confused to how it only has 50,000 odd fews
We use this for preshow music for our play :)
most incredible voice i think ive ever heard !! come back to norwich please please please !!!
@Rawralion and what a shame that is.
@Ellllllllez indeed alive and well, just hidden underneath all the crap that's out now'a days
why does it only show my views , with his talent this guy should be known by everyone
0 dislikes once again
This dude is incredible >.<
I can't even begin to describe my feelings towards this, real music is still alive and well.
amazing is all their is to say
its beautiful ! :o ♥
wonderful!
His voice is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard... no, sracth that: the most beautiful. It just sounds so pure and natural. sigh..
this voice... it's stirring up my insides D: !
