Bloody Williamson (Week 1 of 52)
Bloody Williamson
Rocky Alvey © 2008
The dirt don't care if it drinks blood or water The grass don't care if it's been painted red The grave don't know whether you are a son or a father Or the reasons why your life-blood has been shed
The wind can't hear a man when he is crying it carries away his moans and steals his breath That tree won't feel a thing while you are dying And the rope won't know when it's around your neck
Take an eye for an eye And the whole damned world goes blind How you gonna see who's lost or won Well stories fade with time but I hope you’ll keep in mind What happened down in Bloody Williamson
Cobblestones can’t tell if your bones are broken And muscle tears the same whether steel or lead The pavement won’t recall your last word spoken And the sky don't care if you’re alive or dead
Take an eye for an eye And the whole damned world goes blind None of us can see who lost or won Well stories fade with time but I hope you’ll keep in mind What happened down in Bloody Williamson
Stories fade with time but I hope you’ll keep in mind What happened down in Bloody Williamson
