Hometown

He spoke of tortured souls

So outrageous the toll

You can lose all you have

He refused to give in to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will

This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time

Then he shouts at the moon

She's gone, and fear has overcome

He was walking the mile, he was walking alone

So outrageous the toll

You can lose all you have

He refused to give in to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will

This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time

Then he shouts at the moon

She's gone, and fear has overcome

He was walking the mile, he was walking alone

Four and twenty deadbirds, they bleed upon the nest

There was no time for reason, they had no sign of a threat

Now it's too late, too late for me

This town will eventually take me

Too late, too late for me

This town will win

(spoken)

Through this fog they come along

Dark creatures singing a terrible song

The rest of the bar laughed at him

Only I felt my hope grow dim

They found him dead the very next day

"No more stories from him," I heard them say

We blamed bad luck for his fate

Only I felt terror so great

She and he will know

that someday all things will end

That misty night

That dismal moon

The dead search for their kin

While angels sing, in endless dark

The dead seek out sin
