[Intro]
[Verse]
Blow Winds Blow
Bring a howling rage
Bring to me the sanity
That I so dearly crave
Here I sit in the darkness
Here I am bound in chains
A shadow of my former self
âere little else remains
My mind is a field fallen fallow
In the morning I shall swing from the gallows
[Whistling]
[Verse]
Blow Winds Blow
Beyond all pale and ken
Carry me across the sea
Where Iâll be free again
To live a life of virtue
Free from tax and tithe
To build upon the shred of hope
Thatâs keeping me alive
My soulâs a dying river black and shallow
In the morning I shall swing from the gallows
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Blow Winds Blow
A bitter northern gale
Bring to me the bravery
To face my end with hale
To shed nary a tear
As I face down the horde
Gathered on the village green
To reap a grim reward
With looks upon their faces cold and sallow
In the morning I shall swing from the gallows
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
What once the land that beckoned me home
Is now but cinder and scheme
What once was domain of pirate and lord
Is now the American Dream
What once was a land of promise and hope
Is now but cinder and scheme
What once was domain of tyrant and crown
Is now the American Dream
[Outro]
N.C.
Is now the American Dream
Is now the American Dream
N.C.
Is now the American Dream
Is now the American Dream
