lyrics

Well I’m a creature of the night
Moving while you sleep
Dragging a nine pound hammer
Through your dreams
In the dark
I watch over this land
You’ll never know
The work of these hands

I sit up in this ivory tower
With a rifle and a Lone Ranger’s heart
And the nights are long
While I wait for a call
On your marks, get ready, start

I’ve grown weary
But I must not stop
Or else this work will be done wrong
So I’ll keep going
All the while knowing
I’ll become a ghost before long
