Song Description

Dark song about a woman being beaten and left for dead.

Lyrics

(Chorus)
In the black night thunder
ringing in my ears
in the black night pounding
for so many years
at first she cries and then she screams
eyes open wide no more bad dreams

was it only a nightmare
images cloudy and surreal
fists that butalized her
she prayed it wasn't real
as he dragged her through the field
he left a blood drenched trail
lying dead in the railyard
he's too drunk to lay her cross the rails

(Chorus)

I cry your tears I bleed your blood

when you least expect it
lightning hits the earth
strikes a lifeless body
and gives the dead a brand new birth
she runs from the nightmare
she leaves it far behind
she may just have the clothes on her back
but at least she's got her fucking mind

(Chorus)
