They caught him in a forest and tied him to the tree
He shut his eyes softly as if he slept
He shut his eyes softly as if he slept
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
They kneeled before him and then fired their guns
Bullets set up a nest in his shattered heart
Bullets set up a nest in his shattered heart
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
A pigeon came and settled on his hands that night
Handcuffs turned into a red wreath on his wrists
Handcuffs turned into a red wreath on his wrists
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
A cold wind blows chills the death, even the death
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
Told the flowing blood with a velvet voice
