lyrics

the land was siezed fallen trees
you had my heart in your hands
all alone hoping on a wishbone

you broke into a bloodied mess
with the delicate touch of a flower
all alone hoping on a wishbone

the grasslands were taken by a hungry flame
as the ocean it swallowed a lovely dame
all alone hoping on a wishbone

that nightingale mourned oh mourned its tone
to an empty sky with no moon for light
all alone hoping on a wishbone

the splinters in your hand they fell away
the thorns in your feet made you kneel and pray
all alone hoping on a wishbone

a deer stopped and stared you in the eyes
a shot rang through the darkness the deer did die
all alone hoping on a wishbone

when you walk past the old oak tree
take my body back to my family
all alone hoping on a wishbone
