Blackwood Company - Chariot
lyrics
The Sun rises slowly
Behind chain link fence
Got a front row ticket
At my lifes expense

Propped against a car
In a back alley lot
I realize its only
Scant moments I got

Double-crossed and two-timed
But not in it alone
My best friend beside me
Together weve grown

He pleads real softly
Whispers Lords Prayer
Then loud as a freight train
Silence fills the air

Sleep well, sleep well, angel
And pray I dont end up in Hell

We were fools to think
We could gamble with gods
But when the dice turn up snake eyes
You remember the odds

Sleep well, sleep well, angel
And pray I dont end up in Hell

The chariots coming
I hear its wheels
The galloping horses
Are fast on my heels

I think of my baby girl
Sleeping at home
The reasons for all this
Shell never know

With my last ounce of strength
I reach in my coat
And take out her picture
As the breath leaves my throat
