Peyton Farquhar rose
And broke the surface of Owl Creek
With his mind on fire
But the fight burned in his heart
As grey eyes took aim
Soldiers fired on the stream
Voices shouting from the bridge
For to be hanged was enough
And to be drowned was enough
But to be shot was too much
Hunted, he dived
As bullets rained above
Down current he was drawn
Til his hands reached southern sands
Peyton Farquhar stood
On the south bank of Owl Creek
One last look back towards the bridge
Then escaped into the trees
Fought the wild
Day and night
Followed voices to the gates
Where his wife dressed in white waits
Surrounded by a burning light
A sudden strike upon his neck
Then all is dark and silence
Peyton Farquhar hangs beneath Owl Creek Bridge

Peyton Farquhar rose
And broke the surface of Owl Creek
With his mind on fire
But the fight burned in his heart
As grey eyes took aim
Soldiers fired on the stream
Voices shouting from the bridge
For to be hanged was enough
And to be drowned was enough
But to be shot was too much
Hunted, he dived
As bullets rained above
Down current he was drawn
Til his hands reached southern sands
Peyton Farquhar stood
On the south bank of Owl Creek
One last look back towards the bridge
Then escaped into the trees
Fought the wild
Day and night
Followed voices to the gates
Where his wife dressed in white waits
Surrounded by a burning light
A sudden strike upon his neck
Then all is dark and silence
Peyton Farquhar hangs beneath Owl Creek Bridge
And broke the surface of Owl Creek
With his mind on fire
But the fight burned in his heart
As grey eyes took aim
Soldiers fired on the stream
Voices shouting from the bridge
For to be hanged was enough
And to be drowned was enough
But to be shot was too much
Hunted, he dived
As bullets rained above
Down current he was drawn
Til his hands reached southern sands
Peyton Farquhar stood
On the south bank of Owl Creek
One last look back towards the bridge
Then escaped into the trees
Fought the wild
Day and night
Followed voices to the gates
Where his wife dressed in white waits
Surrounded by a burning light
A sudden strike upon his neck
Then all is dark and silence
Peyton Farquhar hangs beneath Owl Creek Bridge
