Akira Yamaoka - Hometown

He spoke of tortured souls



So outrageous the toll


You could 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,


"She's gone!"


And fear has overcome


He was walking the mile


He was walking alone (2x)



Four and twenty dead birds


They bleed upon the nest


There was no time for reason


They had no sign of the threat


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



Through this fog there came along dark creatures singing a terrible song.


The rest of the bar laughed at him.


Only I felt (inaudible).


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.



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 sleep


In endless dark


The {dead} seek out sin.
