Joe Romersa - Hometown Lyrics

(0:10)he spoke of tortured souls,
(0:18)so outrageous the toll
(0:24)you can lose all you have
(0:29)he refused to give in,
(0:34)to the town that takes all.
(0:40)survive you must have the will
(0:51)this movie doesn't end the way we want,
(0:55)all the time then he shouts at the moon.
(1:01)"she's gone!" and fear has overcome.

(1:10)he was walking the mile
(1:15)he was walking alone...

(1:40)so outrageous the toll
(1:45)you can lose all you have
(1:51)he refused to give in
(1:56)to the town that takes all.
(2:02)survive you must have the will
(2:13)this movie doesn't end the way we want,
(2:17)all the time then he shouts at the moon.
(2:23)"she's gone!" and fear has overcome.

(2:31)he was walking the mile
(2:37)he was walking alone

(2:43)four and twenty dead birds
(2:48)they bleed upon the nest
(2:53)there was no time for reasons
(2:58)they had no sign of a threat.

(3:03)now it's too late
(3:07)too late for me,
(3:10)this town will eventually take me
(3:15)too late, too late for me
(3:21)this town will win.

{spoken}
(3:24)through this fog they came along
(3:27)dark creatures singing a terrible song
(3:30)the rest of the bar laughed at him
(3:33)only i felt my hope grow dim
(3:37)they found him dead the very next day
(3:40)no more stories from him, i heard them say
(3:44)we blame bad luck, for his fate.
(3:47)only i felt terror so great.

{sung}
(3:51)she and he will know...
(3:56)that someday...
(4:01)all things will end...

(4:05)that misty night
(4:07)that dismal moon
(4:10)the dead search for their kin
(4:15)while angels sing, in endless dark
(4:20)the dead seek out sin.
