[Verse 1]
   FHe was born with his face in the Cdirt
Raised at the tip of a Gmlong curve
In the desert of a northern A#wild
   FHe spoke of names, faces and Ctrades
Ghosts from a life in the Gmdead age
A lost space, drowned by A#tide
[Bridge]
CHe looks at his dirty A#hand
AmLet my Gmloved ones go,
I did it all for Cthem

What goes, it comes around
And I am the rawbone now
[Verse 2]
FFrom the mills to the docks and the Cmines
Echoes the voice of a Gmhard time
A young life, now be A#naught
FHe tells a tale of a thirteen-year-Cold,
Skinny kid with a Gmtough soul,
A bad bone, firm and A#strong
