Barbed Wire Memories

Låttext

[Verse 1] Wore a leather jacket, carried a wooden bat Wrapped in barbed wire, man I started with that Knelt them in a circle on the muddy ground Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, didn't make a sound Brought a empire down with a smile and a grin Took half of everything, that’s where the rule begins Locked in a cell for years to think of what I done Paid for every single life I stole beneath the sun [Chorus] Oh, the iron and the fire leave a permanent scar You can try to run away but you won't get far From the Sanctuary walls to the skyline of brick The ghost of the past is a heavy wooden stick Yeah, the ghost of the past is a heavy wooden stick [Verse 2] Now I'm walking through the canyons of a fallen town High up in the concrete where the dead come down Helping out the mother to bring her boy back home Walking through the shadows on these streets of stone Hung a man upside down just to make a point Rules keep us breathing in a broken joint I was the monster that they needed me to be Now the city in the sky is the cage for me [Chorus] Oh, the iron and the fire leave a permanent scar You can try to run away but you won't get far From the Sanctuary walls to the skyline of brick The ghost of the past is a heavy wooden stick Yeah, the ghost of the past is a heavy wooden stick [Bridge] You can wash the blood off, but the stain remains Trading old iron for a brand new set of chains A bad man doing good, or a good man gone wrong? Just another sinner singing the same old song [Outro] Barbed wire memories... Man in the leather coat... Still holding the line... [Fade Out]
