The Companions

All the desperate people in this town
Are coming out tonight
They'll be here soon
They want to be here with us in our glorious times
And when they start to laugh, we'll laugh too
But when they start to cry, they'll ruin it for everyone
We'll ask them to leave
And they'll pull out their knives and kill us all
They're here now
Close the gate Lock the door
Bring the lights down Put the light s out Close the bar
Maybe they'll give up and go next door
Lets pretend we're gone Pretend we're not here
Let's pretend we're gone
I'm too strong now I can't lose
I try but I can't lose
I stole everything from you
I stole your disaster from you
I can't give it back
Este recuerdo guarda su alma
Su alma guarda esta tumba
Dios guarda su cuerpo
Su cuerpo guardo su aliento
Behold the breath of the dragon
Mira el brillo del cuchillo
All the desperate people in this town
Are coming out tonight
They'll be here soon
