Hymnostic Lyrics – Big Red Machine

[Verse 1: Justin Vernon]
Holy torch my perdition
How important you will be
Why don’t you lay it down right beside me
Won't you lay it all by me

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
I am not an apparition
But I’ll haunt you
You'll see

[Verse 2: Justin Vernon]
Clad in ballads, wine and orchids
'Cause I know the kind you seek
You used to lay down all around me
You used to lay it all by me

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
No it's not just adulation
I will hold you for me

[Verse 3: Justin Vernon]
Cut the grass, tend the flowers
Downing bottles by the crease
Light a smoke up in the sun room
And pretend I’m my tree

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
Prove it not
Rock of ages
In a row
Their lies to me

[Verse 4: Justin Vernon]
Winter costs you peace of mind now
Winter cost your valentine
Why won't you come back on the runner
Won't you come right backside

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
I'll be singing for your health
I'll be righteous you’ll see
