The moon is low and casts its shadows long,
\nand in this gloom what God can say I’m wrong?<\/p>\n
My truth is that I am my father’s son
\nand seek revenge and honor with his gun.<\/p>\n
The man I’ll kill would kill me if he could\u2014
\nHis father shot my father in this wood.<\/p>\n
The unmarked grave is covered up with snow,
\nand vengeance is the only law I know.<\/p>\n
The moon is low, and soon the sun will rise
\nbut not until the killer’s first-born dies.<\/p>\n
Thus as a son I’ll show what I am worth,
\nand so we spend our meager time on earth.
