A Different Kind of Song

Lyrics
Open sale from Antrum as the famine came to town To a promise of a freedom in the south But not for him the gold fields or the riches deeper down Just a plot of land and food for every mouth Memories of martyrs in the land he’d left behind Tales of cruelty pa**ed on down the line O’Quinn sired a clan who’d always struggled hard to find Peace within the law and peace of mind They had you in their sights all along There never was a chance to sing a different song One stеp forward, two behind and always in the gun Therе never was a place for you to run Born beneath Mount Disappointment dark prophetic peak Just two months since Eureka came and went Young Edward learned his script in life like learning hide and seek And played it out with pa**ion to the end They had you in their sights all along There never was a chance to sing a different song One step forward, two behind and always in the gun There never was a place for you to run Fifteen years of courtship with the fringes of the law No friends he chose unwisely on the way And a family he never had a chance to choose at all By then he knew the part he had to play They had you in their sights all along There never was a chance to sing a different song One step forward, two behind and always in the gun There never was a place for you to run
