The Poisoned Well

from Love Supreme by Moskau

/

lyrics

The bridge was burned, the kittens drowned, the prisoners were shot.
The bullet that I saved for this occasion's all I've got,
But I won't use it on me like I planned the night before,
I'll save it for when I come back to knock upon your door.

Instead I'll crawl through bodies as soon as nightfall comes
When the enemy gets drunk and begins to beat his drums.
They'll drum until their palms will bleed, until their arms are sore;
Hear the rhythm of the beast announce the end of war.

As the whispering winds will carry this terrible tattoo
I'll crawl through mud, I'll crawl through blood on my way back to you.
For the apple that you're holding it's rotten to the core
And the well it has poisoned, I won't drink from it no more.

The witches laugh, hyenas too and the banshees wail
The body creeping through the night, it leaves a bloody trail.
If I make it to the other side, I can make it to the shore.
I was beaten, almost killed, but I'll be back for an encore.

The battle scars we carry tell of history of pain
And the notches on my hilt of the destinies I've slain.
But at this very point it's hard to say what it's all for.
The well it has been poisoned, I won't drink from it no more.
