The Tin Box Boys - Warden [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm ready warden, to meet my end
To believe my soul I lend
Believe my mark upon the Earth
Goodbye my wish to walk it's girth
Hello soul, within the ground
I'll go quiet, no cry, no sound

I'm ready warden
Yes I'm ready

I never did play that well free
Put the bird in the cage, that dog on a leash
But be sure to put that dog down
Don't fear his bark, now he can't make a sound

Cause we're the wardens
And we're ready
Yeah we're the wardens
And we're ready

Well, put the man in the war and he'll kill just fine
But guilt only comes when the killing is defined
Grab your gun, and head to the hills, get ready
Well twelve men stood, and the judge said he
Who murdered Lil' Sadie in the first degree
He cut her down in cold blood
Now he must wear the rope, and he must wear the hood

It's heavy boys
It gets heavy
It's heavy boys
It gets heavy

I knew the price, but I couldn't pay the bill
Now my grave is the counter, and the gallow's the till
Leave me just two coins please
To pay the man at the boat, and lucifer his fee

Just drop me warden
Cause I'm ready
Yeah drop me warden
Cause I'm ready

And through the hood now I draw my last breath
Blurred shapes through the hood are my last friends left
I'm sorry for all of the things I've done
Let the people cheer, death hammer on his drum
But no you don't got anything for free
Gonna want a way out, better follow me
A killer's still a killer with a gavel or not
Remember your coin sir, your feet are getting hot

You're next warden
Yes you're next
Cause it's your neck warden
Your neck
