The Ballad of The Pale Rider

" Look around you kid, most of these men are dead,
and the ones who think they are living, have lives filled with fear and dread".
“Some of them were once good men,but that was a long time ago,
and some of them once had souls, as pure as driven snow”.
“You see kid, for some men drinking strong liquor gives them a cancer of the soul,
and they may try and fill the emptiness, but they just burn a bigger hole;
some men can take or leave it, some men can’t leave it alone,
and that’s why these men sitting here are nothing but skin and bone”.
“Now I aint no preacher man,but I reckon it’s got a hold on you,
so give it up now kid, or you’ll be joining this motley crew”.
“So take my advice son,and don’t wait till that last bell,
or you may be standing here one night
as a Sentinel from Hell”.
