1.
So sure of their station, men they were brave But the pride of the general led them to their grave In that final hour, lives they were lost Few knew how the west was won and fewer know the cost They paid with blood as all men should Their mournful cries under western skies Along the horizon their shadows spilling forth bleeding over the wounded plain The trap is set the ambush awaits Their fate is sealed Counting coup or taking your life Knocking my bow or unsheathing my knife Cold and forsaken lies the twisted heart within this shell With every scalp I take I send a devil back to hell I fight with the powers of the gods at my side Their fate is sealed I will live, you will die Ascend with your spirit to the sky My medicine is strong Now I sing a grand war song Seething malice, full of hate Painted horses seal your fate

Soldiers shouted get down on your knees (your family name's' a disease) I cried out but no one heard my call (they were the first against the wall) Fleeing from my home I am broken Journey to a land of lead and gold Pouring the contents of soul through my fingers into these keys Floating right over the heads of those that I would kill myself to appease I am but a simple entertainer, I'd walk through hell just to play you a song Every note, every phrase, every coda, reminders of ways in which my life went wrong Where there stood a boy stands a man I play these ivory keys with my hands So my son All your life Strive to be somebody And I know In my heart That you'll be Never look back again I'll never look back again
3.
I came this land with naught but the clothes on my back and the gun in my hand I went into the hills despite all the talk of the natives and men that they killed Doomed to wallow in the filth of man I'll never see my home again There is a price for power Beneath the blackened hills Battling the earth with fire and steel Deeper and deeper till its golden daughters are revealed Shattering the core, maniacally obsessed With every breath I take I black the lungs within my chest Blacker than the darkest night The daylight fading from my sight There is a price for power Beneath the blackened hills No man can ever stop me For its favor I will kill Though my heart must break With every claim I stake for gold Everything I do, It's all for you I lose my soul
