Damnation Ballad By Ashley Parker, music by Joella Deal


Vs. What is this sound of battle for,

When you raise the banner and start a war?

And I won't lose any sleep tonight

Just to justify what you think is right



CH: Calamity Cloaks when winter breaks

Curse the day we made mistakes

A picture's worth a thousand words

And people fear what they don't understand

So dip your finger in the holy water

and wish yourself a perfect ever after

your cause is breached, our bridges burned

If you're gonna preach, teach on what you've learned


Vs. Find redemption in damnation ballads

Drink salvation from the good works challis

A healthy mind at needle point-

Injection site, where your fear is just their toy


Alternative CH: So dip your finger in the holy water

and wish yourself a perfect ever after

A picture's worth a thousand words

And people fear what they don't understand
