Weight In My Lungs

The Heavy Horses

Compositor: Justin Mahony

While the day's time was resting, I'd ride in all nights
And I'd spill all their blood before the waking of light
Finished with reaping, I'd ride out again
While they cry with their children, and bury their men

Of a gather of women, I would settle with none
I took daughters from fathers, left mothers with sons
Consumed by glory, and thirsting with lust
In the end, all those things turned to ashes o' dust

And weight in my lungs
A weight in my lungs

Men tried to struggle, women appease
Children would fall down to grovel and plead
Drowning in prayer and full of mistrust
In the end, all those things turned to ashes o' dust

And weight in my lungs
A weight in my lungs
