The Widow's Bane - The Pledge lyrics

Johnny came home after world war II, With a boot full of blood and a bottle of booze. Drank all night with the Virgin Mary, At dawn set sail in her sinking ferry. And Oh, what a surprise, She stole both of his eyes. Now he cries through a hole in his heart, where Her promises tore him apart. There will be no reconciliation No lullaby can cure damnation. So sing, sing for your bread. Yes sing, sing 'til you're dead. And bleed, bleed 'til you're all bled dry. And sail to the end of the world, Burn the charts, let go of the girl. And slip over the edge, Map the void. Make the pledge.
