I went up to Widow’s Peak To run my dog (to run my dog) Had to get him up to speed Then catch my breath (catch my breath) The sky and the earth turned red And the daylight fled (the daylight fled)
Hail son of ancient war like beast Finding trails in the mud You can smell the blood Buried under my feet
I went up to Widow’s Peak
I went up to Widow’s Peak Feeling dread (feeling dread) Laid down my jangling nerves On a mak shift bed (this unmade bed) Then I got so tired and I wanted just to sleep But I could not close my eyes For fear of what I might see
Hail son of ancient war like beast Follow trails in the mud You can smell the blood Buried under my feet
One for the ladies taking over Two for the chaos man created
Boys go marching off to war They’re making sure This is where it ends
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Finding trails in the mud You can smell the blood Buried under my feet
I went up to Widow’s Peak (I went up to Widow’s Peak) (Boys go marching off to war) (To run my dog)
