I THINK I SAW YOU IN MY SLEEP, DARLING. @raglan-road-blog - Tumblr Blog

They could’ve kicked in the door but knew the gun was still with him,

One he’d already used and so they feared what he’d do.

I floated up through the window of a room to the West.

I hovered out to the hallway, tried to listen in.

I heard them trying to reason, get him to open the door.

His uncle begging and pleading, half-collapsed to the floor.

He preached of hope and forgiveness, said, “There is always a chance to rectify what you've taken, make your peace in the world.”

I thought to slip through the door, I could’ve entered the room,

I felt the burden of murder, it shook the earth to the core.

Felt like the world was collapsing. Then we heard him speak,

“Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?

Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?

Can I ever be forgiven cuz I killed that kid?

It was an accident; I swear it wasn’t meant for him!

And if I turn it on me, if I even it out, can I still get in or will they send me to hell?

Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?”

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And I am dead, as dead I well may be

You’ll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an “Ave” there for me.

And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

If you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me

I’ll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

You're a Liar - Jamie Rhoden (Title Fight Acoustic Split)

You're desperate at best All you do is complain I apologize for all the times I tried to help in any way. And oh, did I mention your cries For attention are driving me insane?

Van Diemen’s Land is a hell for a man

To end out his whole life in slavery

Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law

Neither wind nor rain care for bravery

Twenty years have gone by and I’ve ended my bond

My comrades’ ghosts walk behind me

A rebel I came and I’m still the same

On a cold winter's night you will find me

Oh, I wish I was back home in Derry.
