The Killer Was a Coward - Dermot Kennedy

See the killer was a coward

Dark deeds in dark towers

So he fled when they came

Blowing brass, carrying chains

They want to lock him in the dark

They want to kill what’s in his heart

And they left the town to hunt him down

And they left one man to hold it down

But when they get back he’s in the throne

Looks like the killer’s fucking clone

Says he’s got ideas of his own

But there’s one thing he’d kill to know

See there’s a hero in the crowd

And his heart starts beating loud

Says the killer took his friend

And decides that this is where it ends

So at night the king’s walking the tower

His eyes lit up with all the power

But the hero’s ghosting by the guards

And his heart is carrying a charge

He stabs him in his cunning heart

The scream tore sea and sky apart

So you want fears?

We still got several

At least the killer’s dancing with the devil

The hero did it for days

When you don’t know if the moon’ll even come

Then it lays down

I’m telling you, man, it’s sweet when it does

When I think of you I think of spirits divine

I think of all the love we shared in a very dark time

The hero did it for the summer

For long days with that sun in your hair

For fires and family

For the phrase «don't ever leave me»

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

When you’re coming home now

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

Sorrow’ll be finding me no more

When you’re coming home now
