Poisoned Epitaph (1983)
The blood ran cold and steeply through the heather on the hillside
Above, the diamond sky was frozen still by winter breath
The butcher's van was leaving on its journey to the city
Behind it, anonymity and death
The stunted trees clung naked to the weather-beaten mountain
That overcast the valley down amid the shades of dawn
A hint of misty halo danced around the frozen branches
And the scarecrow, hanging tattered and torn
And the scarecrow, hanging tattered and torn
Above, the diamond sky was frozen still by winter breath
The butcher's van was leaving on its journey to the city
Behind it, anonymity and death
The stunted trees clung naked to the weather-beaten mountain
That overcast the valley down amid the shades of dawn
A hint of misty halo danced around the frozen branches
And the scarecrow, hanging tattered and torn
And the scarecrow, hanging tattered and torn
