Banshees Veil Lyrics & Tabs by I Killed A Leprechaun At The Carnival
Banshees Veil
guitar chords lyrics
not far from the village, down the hill
sat a lonely man in his house of stone
once he was a good man with no shame but still
now he's a man on his own
he drenched all his sorrows in whiskey and tears
glanced back at times free from misery and fear
listen to the story that he has to tell
a story of hatred and suffering as well
some time ago when the sky was not, dark all day
he heard his sheep in the mountains above, his family's house
he met this woman, this feeble creature of beauty and love
he met this woman, this feeble creature of fornication
she was sensual, he was weak
though he didn't know sh was a banshee
and she gave him bad news
she was sensual, he was weak
though he didn't know sh was a banshee
and she gave him bad news
your sons and daughters, wife and sheep
will perish tonight and you will weep
many years have gone since this tragedy
yet still mourns the death of all he had to live for
with empty eyes, the man watched the darkening sky
the autumn in his heart would never pass
