Northern Star

Hair of the darkest night
Skin of the purest white
Lips so ruby red
Eyes so big and brown I just fall in
I have sen my Northern Star
You're the brightest thing
Wherever you are
Please donn't ever leave my side
If you did I think I'd.... die
Smile that lights the day
Hands that take all of my troubles away
Kiss that melts the ice
Holding you sure feels nice
I have sen my Northern Star
You're the brightest thing
Wherever you are
Please donn't ever leave my side
If you did I think I'd.... die

To War

Yeah I'm Marching off to war
I know what I am fighting for
Freedom for me and my fellow man
Gonna do all that I can
I know I'm gonna make it back
True love is waiting that's a fact
Gonna make it through this war
Gonna make her mine and that's for sure
Please wait for me
I will make it back you'll see
You're all that's keeping me alive
Being back by your side
I write her every day
It's what keeps me sane
I can't wait to be
Back with her in the land of the free
My brothers watching out for her
Man I'm missing my brother
Gonna keep her safe and that's for sure
Couldn't love them any more
Please wait for me
I will make it back you'll see
You're all that's keeping me alive
Being back by your side

Things I Should Not See
03:26
|
|||
|
Bodies scattered all around
A sea of blood covers the ground
War cares not for the good
I'd leave this place if I could
To see such things at 23
Should not be for the likes of you and me
A friend is dying at your feet
Nothing to do no time to weep
To see these things hollows my heart
Wish war would end so life could start....

The Betrayed
04:40
|
|||
|
Of regrets I have but one
That our love has come undone
While I was away at war
Twas my brother you'd fallen for
And of the two I love the most
This wedding day I cannot toast
As I sit alone wondering just how far
I would have to go to heal the scar
This home is not my own
Oh this bird it has flown
Now to face the world alone
My heart is heavy turned to stone...

Barman

|

|
Barman pour me another drink
I don't want to be able to think
About the man I cannot be
Why did she pick him over me
Now I'm not your man
I've done all that I can
The more I drink the more my vision disappears
But the situation becomes more clear
My brother is a better man than me
It hurts so much too see
Now I'm not your man
I've done all that I can

Lost Soul
03:55
|
|||
|
Please oh lord what I have done
I've just killed a man
Now I'm on the run
I didn't want trouble
Just wanted to leave
Now I'm leave town
Cos I left him to bleed
Please oh lord
How could it be
Here on this day
He had to pick me
I just wanted a drink
To drown my sorrows
Why wouldn't that man
Leave me alone
Now the devils on his way
Come to take my soul away
Now the devils on his way
Don't wanna live another day

As I Look
03:49
|
|||
|
As I look to the west I won't make it out I guess
As I look to the east I can see you catching me
I have rode for miles and miles
On a horse through a hundred towns
But you're still chasing me
To the ends of the earth it seems
But now I've lost my will
I'll pay the price you shouldn't kill
There is nowhere left for me
Take me back a noose I'll fill
If I run to the west do you think I'll get some rest
If I wait for the east will my mind be at peace
I have rode for miles and miles
Left my home and family ties
But his face is still haunting me
It's no use I can't be free
But now I've lost my will
I'll pay the price you shouldn't kill
There is nowhere left for me
Take me back a noose I'll fill

Here In This Hole
05:20
|
|||
|
Here in this hole
As I look up at the sky
I have been told
I am going to die
Tomorrow at noon
There gonna hang me high
Swing from a rope
paying the ultimate price
There is no hope
So you'd better stop crying
It's not your fault
It was me they were trying
Guilty as charged
I took another mans life
He gave me no choice
He wouldn't drop that knife
Here in this hole
I've got one last night
And my last thought
Is what I didn't do right
Could I have done
Something to keep you with me
Probably not but I couldn't set you free
Now I'm going to die
Here in this hole
As I look up at the sky
I have been told
I am going to die

To The Gallows

To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows today
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows today
I'm full of remorse
And I know I must pay
As I look to the crowd
I can see that mans wife
With tears in her eyes
And hatred in her voice
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
We're in agreement I should be hanged
We're in agreement I should be hanged
Sky fire red soon I'll be dead
Sky fire red soon I'll be dead
Sky fire red soon I'll be dead
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows today
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows
To the gallows today
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
She calls out my name to hell I'll be damned
We're in agreement I should be hanged
We're in agreement I should be hanged
Sky fire red soon I'll be dead
Sky fire red soon I'll be dead
Sky fire red now I am dead

Hangman
02:15
|
|||
|
With my eyes closed tightly
Hangman has set me free
Darkness has taken over me
As I look to the distance
I can see a boat at shore
Waiting to take me to my fate
Death he greets me like an old friend
Says that it's not clear
Don't know where we're headed
But we better get out of here
You see son
Death is a just like life
Nothing is ever black and white
But through the veil
We can a see it all
We know the truth of what went on
Death he greets me like an old friend
Says that it's not clear
Don't know where we're headed
But we better get out of here
......
nothing is ever clear

As The Bell Tolls
01:38
|
|||
|
As the bell tolls
The judgement is made
All of the wrongs have been duly paid
A life has been taken as payment in full
Now go from this place
Hope your rest is peaceful
Ring the bell once
And ring the bell twice
Hope your soul is redeemed
And you find paradise
