Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
The winter battle was won
The summer children were born
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman with your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come on woman in your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rise on out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
A vessel in the bloodline
The 13th zodiac sign
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
Some day the grapes will be wine
And some day you will be mine
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come on woman in your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rise on out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
That which was put in the ground
Will some day come back around
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
And still the story goes on 'n' on
And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
The winter battle was won
The summer children were born
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman with your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come on woman in your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rise on out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
A vessel in the bloodline
The 13th zodiac sign
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
Some day the grapes will be wine
And some day you will be mine
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
From here to eternity
Come on woman in your own time
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
Rise on out from the dead leaves
Come back to me
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
Oh, she sings your favourite song
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
That which was put in the ground
Will some day come back around
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
And still the story goes on 'n' on

And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
(No doubt in my mind this is about the book of Genesis and the progression of time into the modern era)
The winter battle was won
The summer children were born
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman with your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
(Read these two lines together, with your life beats those we buried with the house keys. The keys to the kingdom of heaven)
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
(Smoke and feathers are both light, as in without much weight but in the bible all forms of the word light are the same and refer to goodness. The fields of green could be Eden, Earth, or Heaven.)
From here to eternity
(From Earth to Heaven and also for all time)
Come on woman in your own time
(in the modern era)
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
(far from the garden of Eden when man and woman knew not of good or evil)
Rise on out from the dead leaves
(Rise out of the attachment to the material world as in vanity, lust, want, desire for these physical things)
Come back to me
(come back to god and goodness)
Oh, she sings your favorite song
(maybe temptation)
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
(maybe temptation still leaves you wanting and sad)
A vessel in the bloodline
(a part of the lineage of humans)
The 13th zodiac sign
(13 may represent evil and the zodiac sign the East)
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
(These things are now but there is eternity)
Some day the grapes will be wine
(In the garden of Eden we ate without want and when we were cast out we were cursed to toil for our food, and after the giant flood Noah made wine and got drunk all the time and things really went to shit for a long time, but this could just refer to the progression of time and the maturing of an idea)
And some day you will be mine
(Some day you will be with god in heaven)
And so the story goes on 'n' on
(The story could be the bible, or time)
Come on woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
(if your life follows the path to heaven)
That which was put in the ground
Will some day come back around
(Maybe the garden of Eden will return in the form of heaven, or maybe Earth will be free of Evil)
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
(When Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden they were cursed to a mortal existence)
Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
And still the story goes on 'n' on

I doubt it's what the artist intended, but I like my own interpretation and felt like sharing:P
Here is my interpretation:
>Before daybreak there were none
>And as it broke there was one
>From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
the creation of the world
>The winter battle was won
>The summer children were born
>And so the story goes on 'n' on
the creation of adam & eve/man & woman.
>Come on woman with your life beats
>Those we buried with the house keys
>Smoke and feather where the fields are green
>From here to eternity
This is agreeably somewhat hard to find direct meaning, but if I go with the genesis motif;
"woman with your life beats" could be a mother, more specifically the life-beats could be a menstrual cycle.
"Those we buried with the house keys" this is the hardest line for me and I think others to translate as it's very vague, but if I continue with the first line, "those" would refer to the "life beats" and "buried with the house keys" I would say he has either created a lineage through eve or possibly his own resurrection through the broader humanity, starting with eve; the house keys referring to home and his ability to return. More generally, it seems to speak of a seed that has been sewn and yet to come to fruition. However the lusty tone for the woman leads me to believe seduction of some sort.
"Smoke and feather where the fields are green" hell vs heaven, devil vs angel, bad vs good, in the land of creation/eden.
"from here to eternity" the deed is done, and the devil is a part of humanity forever, starting from the mother of all mothers.
>Come on woman in your own time
>Far, far, far from the virgin vine
>Rise on out from the dead leaves
>Come back to me
Again, "come on woman in your own time" a plan yet to come to fruition
the next line is also rather vague but insinuates sexuality and leaves a feeling of time.
"rise on out from the dead leaves" I'm sure Justice have their own specific interpretation but i generally take it as a resurrection of either eve or the devils progeny through many generations.
>A vessel in the bloodline,
>The 13th zodiac sign,
>A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
the first line again portrays to me a feeling of lineage, that being the vessel from which he will return.
the next line is a reference probably to Ophiuchus "the 13th zodiac"; a man fighting a snake, the snake being the form the devil took in genesis.
the last line; more emphasis on time and a long term plan.
>Someday the grapes will be wine,
>And someday you will be mine,
>And so the story goes on 'n' on
more time, more lust, more mulling over a plan that will come to fruition.
>That which was put in the ground,
>Will some day come back around,
>From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
Perhaps by now you're noticing the motif as well.
This was just my humble interpretation of the song, granting that the lyrics seem (sound) pretty accurate.
"Smoke" brings to mind "smoke and mirrors," though overall it gives a mood of mystery or detachment from reality, something hazy. Feather makes me think of something light, lilting, but combined with smoke, it adds to a sense of a false, happy, imagined, eternal paradise.
The house keys were buried with people/memories of people, so maybe some accident tore down their house/foundation of their relationship, separating them? It also gives a sense that the two buried their hurtful memories. This one's a bit hard, but that's my take on it.
It's obvious the singer wants this girl, but is waiting for her to be ready. But as they say, the story goes on and on.... [life keeps on]
Before day break there were none,
And as it broke there was one,
From moon to sun, it goes on 'n' on.
The winter battle was won,
The summer children were born,
And so the story goes on 'n' on.
Come on woman if your life beats,
Those we buried with the house keys,
Smoke and feather where the fields are green from here to eternity.
Come on woman in your own time,
Far, far, far from the virgin vine,
Rise on out from the dead leaves,
Come back to me.
Oh, she sings your favorite song,
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then... on.
A vessel in the bloodline,
The 13th zodiac sign,
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on.
Someday the grapes will be wine,
And someday you will be mine,
And so the story goes on 'n' on.
Come on woman if your life beats,
Those we buried with the house keys,
Smoke and feather where the fields are green from here to eternity.
Come on woman in your own time,
Far, far, far from the virgin vine,
Rise on out from the dead leaves,
Come back to me.
Oh, she sings your favorite song,
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then... on.
Oh, she sings your favorite song,
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then... on.
That which was put in the ground,
Will some day come back around,
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on.
Before daybreak there were none,
And as it broke there was one,
And still the story goes on 'n' on.
Still don't like the fact that some of the lyrics don't make sense but there's not much I can do about it xP
Anyone want anything changing just comment and I'll change it :)
