Drink of the Devil’s Blood

If I had but half the wine to ever fill this cup

I’d sail away on a sea so red as a drink of the devil’s blood

I’d sail away on a sea so red as a drink of the devil’s blood

 

If I had but half the gold that through this hand has passed

I’d buy the world another round to let the good times last

I’d buy the world another round to let the good times last

 

If I had but half the time I’ve wasted looking down

I’d spend it standing on my head making smiles from frowns

I’d spend it standing on my head making smiles from frowns

 

If I had but half the love that I have turned away

I’d hold it close; I’d keep it safe no matter come what may

I’d hold it close; I’d keep it safe no matter come what may

Drink of the Devil’s Blood was recorded live and uncut in the living room on an Olympus LS-10. Just me and a guitar about 2 feet away from the mic with levels set on automatic.
