Coyote Lyrics

I was once a young man

Bound to the grave

A heart of hate

The days came and went

A passing train

My energy spent running through the mist

I found a way to deal with it

A plane ticket west

The mountains were my home

The need for something to conquer

A kingdom to call my own

We all want to run away from the things that make us sick

No guilty conscience and no wounds to lick

Packing up and getting out

Following the sunset

Nomad; I wander without a cause

There's no looking back

Hard times breed hard minds

I found myself, but I ran into you

I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways

I can see you in the mirror

Hatred / Rage

The same thing that I (ran away from)

The reflection is (glaring at me)

And he said something (along the lines of )

"You won't be here long"

The demon that I ran from is snarling through the mirror

He reached out a hand (there's no looking back)

I glared back at him, undaunted

He's waning under me

I will not fall back

I will not give into you

Put your rope around my neck

Walk me through the gallows

I'd rather die than spit in the face of everything I've worked for

I am not afraid of you

I found myself no longer cursed by you

I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways

I can't see you in the mirror

Hatred / Rage

I am king

I am home

I am free on my own
