Godspeed

Cast off and blast off, check your boot laces
Gather your paces, board a sinking ship
Tread on and on though, the road is quite steep
So care for your steed, farewell and godspeed

Amidst rogues and thieves
Have godspeed

A brace of pistols, and some spare powder
A good place to crash, just bunk with the trash
Gone with the wind, and the pouring rain
A Kiss for good luck, maybe a fast fuck

Cutthroats, harlots, hustlers, lynchmobs
Concubines, dainty wives, the meanest cunts you'll ever find
The chariot awaits with a shadow inside and a dagger at bay

Through the misty woods by night
Find the lantern burning bright
Ease the pace, hardship and strain
A breather from this
Rain falls against bolted windows
Glad to be where no-one knows
Safe and sound by the fire
A life so dire...

A cup of mead raised to your lips
A touch of hips and fingertips
Tell her what she needs to hear
Rid her of her
Fear roams in before the sun
Grasp your staff and load your gun
Time to go, it's time to run
Save your sorry...

Long, so long, the road goes ever on
How much longer I don't know nor ever will
Light, tread light, or get left behind
Caught by raiders or the damn bailiffs
Those bastards

I yearn to sleep but there's no rest for
The wicked, lest the grave
The road grows ever darker to wander
On one's own
Down on luck, just misfortune
My light just the black moon

Here they come with arms drawn
Ambush in the night
The rain dampens the powder
It will not ignite
When all tricks fail rely on
A strong arm and 3 ft of steel
None shall take me alive
