LyricMeaning

How the Heroine Dies
Barr Brothers

I thought if I fought you

In the open field

Your bayonet would crack

On my hot iron shield

But you caught be running

Now I'm at your command

A servant to forces

That I don't understand

If you were the shepherd

And I was the lamb

And long was the journey

And dark was the land

Who would be following,

Who would be free

Who would believe

That the shepherd was me

When that poet decides

How the heroine dies

He commits original sin

When that last ray decays

From the boardwalk parades

Yours is the longest shadow to fade

Oklahoma, don't bury your eyes

Night receives morning

Like death receives life

Blown are the ashes

Of the emperor's clothes

All through the cornfields

Planted in rows
