bonnie prince billy - sheep lyrics
born in sheep’s blood plain and simple
washed out of my mother’s temple
all around i heard them laughing
as father sheep had stood there calving
black they were, with white eyes gleaming
right in heaven life was seeming
brittle wind blew snow upon me
i got blanketed all white and frosty
in my time i grew and killed them
or out of memory i willed them
and willed in a greater history
out of m-ssacre and mystery
was no longer wealthy, woolly
nor anything i could grasp fully
someone rush to re-inject me
god of gods, won’t you protect me?
fixed my face and marching onward
marching running ever forward
buildings were a bl–dy vessel
edging me below the trestle
there in coal and whitened gravel
i built a shield of wooden baffle
inside of which i raised a fire
so i could tonight retire
everyone will tell you it’s evil to be
a free-thinking p-ck-r like bonnie old me
but i’ll flex my armies and blow out my gut
and prove i’ll be loved by any old sl-t
look here in my wallet, it’s loaded and true
and now i can leave here and go and find you
