Akira Yamaoka - Hometown Lyrics

He spoke of tortured souls
So outrageous the toll

You can 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

Four and twenty dead birds, they bleed upon the nest
There was no time for reason, they had no sign of a threat

Now it's too late for me, this town will eventually take me
Now it's too late for me, this town will win

(Through this fog they come along
Dark creatures singing a terrible song
The rest of the bar laughed at him
Only I felt my hope grow dim
They found him dead the 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 sing, in endless dark
The dead seek out sin.
