Ancient Mark

Oh yes he bears an Ancient Mark
This is not a man you can defend
And he explains so patiently
There's nothing he can do about your friend
He said to roll on down the road
It's punishment enough just to exist
He could relieve your heavy load
But the reason that you're running will persist

When the Stranger left the town
You had a mind to chase him down the road
When you reach his broken trail
You remembered all the stories you been told
How you'll starve in a land so harsh
You'll either freeze to death or break your bones
Still you spur and clench your teeth
Cloud of dust obscures the pathway home
