Erin Mckeown - The Jailer lyrics
rate meBreak my back and tie my hands
Send me to the jailer
For every man the jailer keeps
His soul is getting darker
Jailer rules a stolen land
King of wicked pleasure
Try to cross him if you can
Scar across the desert
[Chorus]
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
Try to stop a water, try to stop a fire
Try to stop a culture
In secret heart the jailer knows
How like he is his prisoners
Throwing sleeps on finer sheets
His dreams will make him nervous
Fearing this the jailer locks
A fist through out his power
Never mind when doubt creeps
The sound over his shoulder
[Chorus]
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
Try to stop a water, try to stop a fire
Try to stop a culture
Bees gonn take a honey case
Wolves gonna eat the weakest
The nature of a jailer is
To do just what it pleases
But when we hang another man
Part of us dies within
Flock your soul up piece by piece
Show me just what love is
Show me just what love is
Show me what is justice
[Chorus]
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
You can’t keep us out, you can’t keep us out
Try to stop a water, try to stop a fire
Try to stop a culture.
