about

New to the forest, and the homes built from timber, his words were few, and his friends were fewer. A girl with kind eyes, a growing attachment, leading to the greatest of misfortunes. Three ne’er-do-well boys and a colt from the shelf, nothing good comes from a apathetic heart and a shaky broken hand. At the end of his fuse, he dawned the likes of a legend from the creek, the boys new well. And he felt no choice but to scare them to the burning embers of hell.

lyrics

Don’t you sing, sing, sing for me
Sing for my earthly scars
‘Cause I’ll be up with the sun and moon
Dancing with the stars

You would be the one to tell me
I’m not alone again
To have somebody by my side
To make me alive, alive

The scars upon the backs of those
Who carry the burdens we wash away
In the river beyond the hills we roam
To keep our sins at bay

Read hair, summer dress
Beneath the full moonlight
My only friend, my dearest end
To the lonely dark of night

Keep me in your sight
Tell me it will be alright
I can only ever fight
The way they call to you

Don’t you go to them
Their eyes are filled with sin
Look within and tell me how to
Find my way home

I wanna run away
From the things they make you do
With daddy’s gun and a kick in their step
They’ll make you a killer too

My lifelong friend
A gift to defend
My quiet days
After she left me to the wolves

Your malice and your pride
Could mistake you for the lord
The devil in your eyes
Does what he will with the bored

I almost want to love you
To put it all behind
But the voices from the trees
Wish me to force you to your knees

The cloak I bear with a stag head crown
My steps like thunder as they hit the ground
Hidden in the night in the shadows grasp
I will not fall alone

I’m counting on your gun
At the ready, pull the trigger
End it all for me but for you
Its only just begun

Seeing the wrong that had been done
She ran to his side
And these were the words he spoke
Just before he died
