Joe Romersa - Hometown lyrics

[Intro] He spoke of tortured souls [Verse 1] So outrageous the toll You can lose all you have He refused to give in to the town that takes all Survive, you must have the will This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time Then he shouts at the moon [Chorus] "She's gone!" and fear has overcome He was walking the mile He was walking alone [Verse 1] So outrageous the toll You can lose all you have He refused to give in to the town that takes all Survive, you must have the will This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time Then he shouts at the moon [Chorus] "She's gone!" and fear has overcome He was walking the mile He was walking alone [Bridge] Four and twenty dead birds, they bleed upon the nest There was no time for reason, they had no sign of a threat [Verse 2A] Now it's too late, too late for me This town will eventually take me Too late, too late for me, this town will win [Spoken Word] Through this fog they came along Dark creatures singing a terrible song The rest of the bar laughed at him Only I felt my hope grow dim They found him dead the very next day No more stories from him, I heard them say We blamed bad luck for his fate Only I felt terror so great [Verse 2B] She and he will know That someday all things will end That misty night, that dismal moon The dead search for their kin While angels sing, in endless dark The dead seek out sin
