Highwayman (Plagues of Babylon 2014)

Текст песни Iced Earth and Russell Allen, Michael Poulsen - Highwayman (Plagues of Babylon 2014)

(Verse 1 - Jon Schaffer)
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I, I am still alive
(Verse 2 - Russell Allen)
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I'm living still

(Verse 3 - Stu Block)
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around
(Verse 4 - Michael Poulsen)
I fly a starship across the universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
