Perdition Bound

My folly killed our families
Watch them fall so gently down
Your father fought so valiant
And now he's with his wife below the ground
No angel flies above us
No, I fear, dear, we're perdition bound
So set your boots to walking
No, they'll not know us in another town

Awaken in an alley
Our senses roused by rancid scents
We wipe the red from our hands
And lift a paper from a local stand
Our eyes dissect the pages
To find word of our baleful work
But the full-page advertisement seizes
Both of our attention first

Collect all you can carry
We'll catch the wagons before dawn
Our ghosts will chase us 'cross the country
But before they catch up we'll be gone

The loaf of bread inside your satchel
The pair of knives inside of mine
Keep company with books we borrowed
From a town too distant to return

Collect all you can carry
We'll catch the wagons before dawn
Our ghosts will chase us 'cross the country
But before they catch up we'll be gone
