Akira Yamaoka - Hometown lyrics

He spoke of tortured souls

So outrageous the toll

You could 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 (2x)

Four and twenty dead birds

They bleed upon the nest

There was no time for reason

They had no sign of the threat

Now it's too late, too late for me

This town will eventually take me

Too late, too late for me

This town will win

Through this fog there came along dark creatures singing a terrible song.

The rest of the bar laughed at him.

Only I felt (inaudible).

They found him dead the very 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 sleep

In endless dark

The {dead} seek out sin.
