Fucked Up - Year of the Horse - Act Four lyrics

SHERIFF KING: Thought I died, don’t you cry
King came high! See you child

Dust will rise, black the sky grow the vine
Let her fly

A river cuts through the cliff
Safe passage to the village
The lizards race back to Sour with his horse
Drawn by his power
Lance withers like a weed
Pushed forward by the need
From across the river wide the lizards
Hiss at him and the child

Blanche holds him tight to keep him alive
But a shadow falls, when the demon calls

The dust await's declare the fates
So they charge into the fire
Rеady to tear down their lives

A crack through thе air! They
Hiss in fear now Sour
Senses a change he’ll raise
The earth! So Lance
Charges across that sea he parts, and Blanche
Cries out again when Kaye, her home, is shot!

The beasts run mad from Lance’s fire
Red blood from Kaye falls to the sand

Blanche runs to her, to heal her wound
But Lance
Pulls her away he wants his spike, while Rose
Staggers towards the tent, her worm and Sour
Conjures the sand inside his mind a shot!

Now Lance, he falls! Shot in the back
Behind him smoke from Blanche’s gun

BLANCHE: Oh momma
You’ll be just fine! Lay down your heavy head
Oh momma, we’ll take a ride, bang bang
And Lance is dead!
Oh momma, that good horse stayed
To take you away from here oh momma
We’ll be home soon! Hold me under the moon
Now momma
Don’t close your eyes! I need you to carry me
Momma I’m just a child, you are my family
Momma, it’s getting dark
Take my love into your heart
Oh momma, oh momma, oh momma!

The bodies in the sand, are seeds in his hand
Evil rides on the wind fire under the skin

Dark clouds on the sky lance opens one eye!
Life to dust, dust come to life

He swells, reborn quick sand for a storm
The shadow of a man come alive again

Rose comes to the tent where
The world was bent
Her noose now a whip, one word on her lips

Thunder cracks! The heavens, black
The eternal night a tempest of spikes

DRUNKEN KAYE: I hear those dogs again
Come to collect the dead
Must be a sign from the gods
Telling us we done em’ wrong

I watched the devil die
But now I see his body rise

Sand gets into my eyes
But, I was already blind

We tried to pull down the stars
Take what was never ours
The lead poisons every heart
Makes good men come apart

I was just a little girl
Who took a wrong turn
Lived my life in the barrel
Shot my way down to hell

Those boys we stole away
Sour turned them into snakes

Their mothers pine and pray
While their bodies drift away

I watch the last leaf fall
I can hear the reaper call

My flower in my arms
I won’t let her come to harm

PEGASUS: Born too brave to rot in a grave
Take your place in the sand
And make your stand

Under these black blood skies
Find the stars on high run to the end of the
Night chase after the light!

BLANCHE: After it all came down
I took my breath of air
And when the sky came back
I gave the earth my tears

I guess old King was right
Rose remembered the name
She called him Zazamanc
It must have broke the spellJ

Ust a scared old worm, underneath it all
He couldn’t let her go his child from the sky

Perceval rose through the clouds
Nothing held her back
I bet the stars were glad
To see their child again

In the womb of the storm
She saved my life again my mother
Drunken Kaye as I went after the horse

She held the last boy back
Who tried to pull me down
I got her saddle off they sunk into the gyre

Her word put out his fire it
Crept back up to the gods
And life came back to our home
The water split the sand

He was a boy once too
Filled with his own boy dreams
Pegasus in her guile
Gave him too much to hold

Give me my little life, and you
My little girl
Give me my memories of those who drift away

Now the bullets rust
And King rests next to Kaye
They gave me to this world it
Paid me back with you

My green girl rose of my world
From the pain love again

She looks down on us now
A light that rides across the sky
