How The Heroine Dies Lyrics - Sleeping Operator - Barr Brothers

I thought if I fought you 

In the open field 

Your bayonet would crack on my hard iron shield 

You caught me running 

Now I'm at your command 

A servant to forces that I don't understand 

If you were the shepherd 

And I was the lamb 

And long was the journey 

And dark was the land 

Who would be following who 

Who would be free 

Who would believe that the shepherd was me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

When the poet decides how the heroine dies 

He commits original sin 

When that last ray decays from the boardwalk parades 

Yours is the longest shadow to face 

Oklahoma, don't bury your eyes 

Night receives morning like death receives life 

Blown on the ashes of the emperor's clothes 

All through the cornfields planted in rows

When that poet decides how the heroine dies 

He commits original sin 

When that ray decays from the boardwalk parade 

Yours is the longest shadow to fade 

Yours is the longest shadow to fade
