Murder By Death
-
Rum Brave
Lyricist:Matt Armstrong, Sarah Balliet, Dagan Thogerson, Adam Turla
I had jade colored eyes That shimmered in the sun If you stared at them too long You'd catch a glimpse of what I'd done
The faces of the damned And all the butchered lambs If I had to do it over I just would have done it slower
When we meet you will see I will destroy everything of beauty When we meet then you'll know I'll be the axe that clears the forest
When I had my fill And tasted every kill There was nothin' left to do But bow out of this world
I heard a tale of a place Where the dead walk tall and proud Where men like me were needed To thin the growing crowd
Deep below the dunes I roved Past the rows, past the rows Beside the acacias, freshly in bloom I sent men to their doom
I spent those days runnin' hard and fast No place to lay my head And the sound of rain against the roof Was loud enough to wake the dead
And my legs were tired Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My feet were cold All I could do Was get back on the road
So I came upon a shanty town Full of bitter men Where carved into a crude wood sign It read welcome to the end
For a dollar you could buy a girl Of every possible design But you couldn't find a decent man Or a word spoken kind
Whiskey was for supper Man couldn't ask for better
When we meet you will see I will destroy everything of beauty When we meet then you'll know I'll be the axe that clears the forest
I spent those days runnin' hard and fast With no place to lay my head The sound of the rain against the roof Was loud enough to wake the dead
And my legs were tired And my feet were cold All I could do Was get back on the road
We were left alone, left alone Every king on his lonely throne We were left alone, left alone Every king on his lonely throne
