Cover art for Halo Of Ashes lyrics by Screaming Trees

Ooh, looks like I'm the first to comment. This song is so catchy, it really shows the talent of Mark Lanegan. This song has a sort of mystical streak running through it, and not forgeting the nice grungy riff.

The song is most likely about a girl, and how he is a long long time away, as in so distant from her emotionally.
