(lyrics written by Matthew Charles Miller)
stillborn from a curse on the tip of your tongue
nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
empty eyes, like shadows on a cold grey wall
and the promises of a hundred thousand crossroads
leather mercies drawn from an iron hand
just a half-breed boy in a dead end land
black innocence, the only kin I've known
are the promises of a hundred thousand crossroads
night slides in close
the sky's on fire
my mind starts to slip
out beyond the wire
there's a truth to tell stranger than dream
in the daylight's death a nightmare takes wing
one step ahead, one look behind then gone
like the promises of a hundred thousand crossroads
night slides in close
the sky's on fire
my mind starts to slip
out beyond the wire
I close my eyes
I'm a flying darkwing hawk
my mind's eye trained on the wolf
everywhere he walks
