Song | Scoundrel and the Squire |
Artist | Falconer |
Album | Black Moon Rising |
Reaper and the hangman | |
Together hand in hand | |
Their hungry eyes are prowling | |
Across this our virgin land | |
Monger and the black sheep | |
Bonded in heresy | |
Ruling from shadows behind the stage | |
In this sinful symphony | |
Thief and enticer | |
Brothers side by side, | |
Panning the rivers for traces of gold | |
With starry eyes so blind | |
The scoundrel and the squire | |
In hidden infamy | |
Are clad in a robe of glory’s glare | |
By light of false chivalry | |
Tempter and the weak man | |
For whom tomorrow mourn | |
Are sowing the seed for the future grief | |
As told in the script of the scorn | |
Master and the slave now | |
Choking by their own hands | |
The treasures slipping through their fingers | |
Like sand | |
In their victory quite not so grand |
Reaper and the hangman | |
Together hand in hand | |
Their hungry eyes are prowling | |
Across this our virgin land | |
Monger and the black sheep | |
Bonded in heresy | |
Ruling from shadows behind the stage | |
In this sinful symphony | |
Thief and enticer | |
Brothers side by side, | |
Panning the rivers for traces of gold | |
With starry eyes so blind | |
The scoundrel and the squire | |
In hidden infamy | |
Are clad in a robe of glory' s glare | |
By light of false chivalry | |
Tempter and the weak man | |
For whom tomorrow mourn | |
Are sowing the seed for the future grief | |
As told in the script of the scorn | |
Master and the slave now | |
Choking by their own hands | |
The treasures slipping through their fingers | |
Like sand | |
In their victory quite not so grand |
