Custer's Lament​/​Warsong (demo)

from 2013 Demo by Wayfarer

/

lyrics

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
