He's been bridled by the bonds

Lead by the lingering lines around a town, a town by the border

There he grew from green to gone

He’s lost a lot still he carries on in a town

a town by the border and about to fall

She was so frail. She followed her friends. She'd cursed them enemies in the end

Yes she would yes she would

There she'd danced from dawn to death

Too good for every single man she met from the town

the town by the border and about to fall

About to fall to it's knees and pray for rain

It's been so very long since it last came to a town

a town by the border and about to fall

Nothing's sacred in this old stream

It flows from the city and does certainly seems

These dusty banks they foreshadow, they teem

What's to become of this old town?

The city's on its way it's slithering down on a town

a town by the border and about to fall
