Story Behind The Song

Fiction...a song describing a 'lost soul' that's drifting from place to place to avoid capture. Is he guilty of some horrible crime? As is often the truth in real life, the answer is unclear. Perhaps those pursuing him are the ones that are really the criminals. You decide.

Song Description

A dark look into the life of a renegade that's being hunted for crimes he's accused of committing.

Lyrics

?Vagabond?

Verse 1
There?s a cold wind blowin?, In the dead of night ?
But I gotta keep goin?, (I) won?t sleep tonight.

Hellhounds are callin?, One foot in the grave
I?m a hated outlaw, (I?m) a dark renegade.

Life is dead and gone for the Vagabond.

Verse 2
(See) The road behind me, I played the devil?s hand ?
Can?t trust nobody (now), I?m a wanted man.

Everywhere I run, there?s no place to hide ?
(And I know) when they catch me, one of us will die ?

Life is dead and gone for the Vagabond.
God forsake the broken soul of the Vagabond.

Verse 3
I know they?re comin?, read ?em like a book ?
It?s written on their faces, Everywhere I look.

Hiding in the shadows, with bloodstained hands -
I?m a living nightmare, a phantasm man.

Life is dead and gone for the Vagabond -
Life is dead and gone for the Vagabond -
Hell hounds the tortured soul of the Vagabond ?
Demon in my soul, I?m the Vagabond ?
What?s dead is gone (for the) Vagabond
