Erin Mckeown - The Jailer lyrics

Break my back and tie my hands Send me to the jailer For every man that jailer keeps His soul is getting darker The jailer rules a stolen land King of wicked pleasures Try to cross him if you can Scar across the desert You can't keep us out! [x4] Try to stop a water! Try to stop a fire! Try to stop a culture! In his secret heart the jailer knows How like he is his prisoners Though he sleeps on finest sheets His dreams will make him nervous Fearing this the jailer locks A fist around his power Never mind when doubt creeps in A sound over his shoulder You can't keep us out! [x4] Try to stop a water! Try to stop a fire! Try to stop a culture! Bees gonna bake a honey cake Wolves gonna eat the weakest The nature of the jailer is To do just what he pleases But when we hang another man Part of us dies with him Lock your soul up piece by piece Show me just what love is Show me just what love is Show me what is just You can't keep us out! [x4] Try to stop a water! Try to stop a fire! Try to stop a culture!
