Home 03:23
Maybe I should've stayed there with her Dug her grave 'neath the old pine Dressed her in brand new linens Because we couldn't of used her gown Then I could've sang to her one last time As they slowly lowered her down Honey I had to go We saw the devil in his smile Seemed to slither across the ground He takes a life like it's nothing' And leaves us cowering at the sound Of gunfire
2.
Summer 04:21
Met her in the summer, 1869 Just one look at her, knew she'd be mine Soon those bells were ringing, she's walking down the aisle Family came from all around, our wedding's the talk of the town That day I died alongside her Just a shell of a man remains Shots rang out across the pews, and the screams did follow suite Ran to catch her, her dress already a red hue Chased him in a blind rage to the street Upon his horse he fled, laughing back at me That day I died alongside her Just a shell of a man remains Now she's gone forever And the pain just might kill me

The Tide 04:04
Darlin' you've become so hollow, intangible And your transparencies pour over me But it all seeps through The moon it once cast its light upon two lovers entwined But now all I have are these memories That's all that was left behind You pulled me in In like the tide Countless miles lie ahead 'till I can finally rest With this barrel against his head I'll have my revenge He'll soon beg on his knees Darlin' you've become so hollow, intangible And your transparencies they come me Every night I lay my head down to sleep

Sleep 04:24
Can't decipher night from day Life from fiction Delirious I make my way Through the waste In search of that bastard That took her away Sleep my love, sleep Come hide away with me Whiskey's wearing a hole Through my stomach Can't take much more This pain, agony Is taking it's toll Like water appears on the horizon To the thirsty You come to me...
5.
Drift 03:57
Pulled into a fever dream This path I walk leads me to the sea Words are whispered upon this salty air Open my mouth to answer But there's no one there I'd jump from these cliffs But you'd just let me drift The end is where I found you Way out on the edge Beckoned to follow after, I gave in Barely keeping hold to your soft grasp Your dress stained red brings the horrors back I jumped from those cliffs And you just let me drift My ears are ringing now with the sound The sound of our wedding bells They're playing loud Death come and drown them out And leave me cold Death come and drown them out And leave me alone
6.
Riverside 04:09
Leave 'em lying by the riverside With no sign of life Grab your loved ones, you can get inside But there aint no place to hide Left her bleeding in his arms Didn't mean them no harm Just let my bullet take its course Sorry I cut the day so short I leave homes broken No cell can hold me Flowers wilt as I walk by Leave my mark on each city I leave behind Behind me a fog rolls in And I'm back hungry for the kill again Those thought lost are washing up Upon the banks...

Your Soul 04:16
Sit here boy, and here what I got to say The man you seek is already on his way He's the one that poisoned our well Came in the night like some demon from hell "Mister don't you hear? All the babies are cryin'..." Son, that sound in your ears is our souls dyin' He's the one that poisoned our well Came in the night like some demon from hell "Mister don't you see? All these people are dyin'…" Son, that ringing in your ears is your soul dyin' Your soul is dyin'
8.
Left this town in ruins No roof over our heads Food's scarce around here And there's blood lapping the riverbed Welcoming death I feel as empty as the words In your black book But you all clutch it Like it's all we got left Well, I'd set it afire just to prove That it aint helpin' No it aint helping We're just welcoming death Let him in
9.
The End 04:39
They rest above the earth Nothin' left but carrion The sky is filled with scavengers But so is the earth below Not a word, not a sound We all pass with our heads down We're out to seek redemption Maybe someday that time will come Here's my elegy A song to ease them to death And for all that he's done I swear I'll bring the end Find myself tippin' The poison down my throat And each shot is just diggin' my grave deeper As if six feet aint deep enough The hunt is drivin' me mad But soon there'll be nowhere left to run 'Cause I got his name carved into my shells Each and every one If my last breath is cast before it Let 'em know that I tried
10.
This road, it lacks a soul Except an apparition, her ghost Been on his trail long, feels like I'm close Worn down and beaten', but I keep pushin on When will this all end? I'm ready for it I'll deliver you back home To the ground A town lies in the valley below Rode in through the graveyard Sun glaring off the tombstones He sat at the bar, brim tipped low Wasn't much a man, cast no shadow I shot till my chamber was bare But when the powder lifted... No one was there
