Cold Blood
Leaving my family behind me
Not knowing what lay ahead
Lying in bondage, I left them in tears
Remembering all we’d said
I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
I asked for guidance and strength
But the simple beliefs of a simple girl
Lay in my hands, and on my head
I gave everything that they wanted
But still they wanted more
We sweat and we toiled
Good men lost their lives
I don’t think they knew what for
I sold them my heart
I sold them my soul
I gave them all that I had
Ah, but they couldn’t break my spirit
My dignity fought back
All around there were broken men
They’d said it was safe, they’d lied
You could hear the cries, you could smell their fear
But good fortune that day was mine
I can see the tears in their eyes
Oh the memories of those I’ve left behind
They’re still ringing in my ears
Well I’ll always remember that night
As they waved goodbye to their lives.
I followed the sword, and slept under stars
Long steps in darkness, and living with danger
Showing no fear of what lies up ahead
Vengence is coming, feud and bloodshed
They’ll never see the likes of us again…
