Nelsons Trap


Buried under bottles and toasts
Was a little trap
Worried about my journey home
I was stuck in some quicksand
Away from my old land

Earlier, I had some hope
I had an easy plan
My boys were mighty clever horses
It was supposed to be just a nightcap
Dad, burn it! I lost my chance

I never missed the time
I'll be the darned by devil till sunset

Harried by the narrow shore
Among the living dead
Raising up flag of unknown
I'm bound to search a new goal for my old men
Somehow I was a mess

Crying out
Easy friend
We step aside
We arm a plan
When you're far from home
You have to fight as a thousand hearts man
No shame, no barns, no rents

I never give a damn to the devil when he calls me
If he wants my flesh, i'll be sorry, but I won't die so fast

I miss the brave time, I could walk and I could feel it
Under those storms I could fetch my own soul
Every ma'am could tell you how clear were the mornings
How they held children on their arms when they were so alone

I ain't so proud, but true, a clever never takes disgrace to hometown
Words cannot drive you home

But I am what was left from chest encased into lawn
Words cannot drive you home

Oh we raise unknown flag
We walk on sand alone
Oh we raise unknown flag
We walk on sand
We walk on sand
We don't give up till the bottles hit the ground
