lyrics

A stranger appears as hopeful kin
to advance and procure
his sins on a land foreign to him
and as he arrives
he exerts his hope
on a skittish horse
to his new home
the land beckons
and calls
Pariah, you will fear my laws

And this land will keep you
in these four walls
as a scapegoat
and a rook
Sacrifice one of our own
For the greater
One pawn, dead in the street
To the wind
we spit
Our condolences
And if you run
A citizen falls
A fool takes the reigns

Death, ride along
Never walk alone

And he rides
To the death
Where’s my brother
He screams and shouts
And no one’s there, And no one cares
And no one’s there, he doesn't care

And he rides

Death
In
The Street

Dead
in
The
Street
To See

There’s no
Reason to go
Foreigner, stay
Awake
But he wastes
Away
Run
Away
But he ran
Away

There’s no point to fight for
(look at what you've created)
Find my
Father
And Get
The hell
out of
This place
