New Settlement Road Until I'm Gone lyrics

Loyalty is paramount
Kiss her feet and bless the ground
So I wander down to edge of a large dark lake
And I continue to protest at the king and queens behest
Against this mighty avalanche
That's been a-beatin' in my chest

So we watch them roll on
Over the hills and take
A long step that if I tried
I think my bones might break
So while they're keeping time in a stepping rhyme
I'm feeling all alone
And I know it won't be long until I'm gone

All over my hands and in my eyes
This could only traumatise

So I give myself to the blade of an unnamed saint
But how is it that I survived
I had pictured my demise
With the ease of a poor man pickin' at a bone filled plate

Hide me under the cover
Of darkness up my sleeve
In a city by the sea that no-one knows
Where no-one goes
Sure enough no-one will show
Any interest in the past
Lean on in and whisper in my ear
Let's make these words the last you'll ever hear
