Choir of the Dead
guitar chords lyrics
Stood with his back turned from death
Heavy was his smokin’ pistol hummin’ with lead
There wasn’t a thing to stand in his path
Just the flames of his furious, fiery wrath
He came into this world believin’ in something
Discovered a man ‘aint guaranteed nothing
But I swear I’ve heard him whistlin’ at night
Just a sad man’s breath nobody in sight
He rose in the mornin’ lickin’ his lips
Devil in his eyes and gun at his hip
He strode through the desert to a desolate place
Sweat drippin’ down his criminal face
He rested the barrel between his teeth
Couldn’t pull the trigger for the final relief
But I swear I’ve heard him whistlin’ at night
He rested the barrel between his teeth
Couldn’t pull the trigger for the final relief
But I swear I’ve heard him whistlin’ at night
Just a sad man’s breath nobody in sight
His insides turned to black. Heart was broken and cracked
No one to save him. No one to save him. That’s the fact
He fell to his knees feelin’ half the man
The coward crawled back through the sand
He couldn’t take his so he had to take theirs
His pride had died, his soul wasn’t there
Bullets flew straight through the breeze
The town painted red, children fell to their knees
His insides turned to black.Heart was broken and cracked
No one to save him. No one to save him. That’s the fact
He called himself mayor a city his own
On an empty street he died alone
