lyrics

Hallowed Ground

Wont you rosin up your bow for everyone
Darlin play that lonesome fiddle tune like the angels would have sung
when I go before you I can be rest assured
when they put me in the ground, your song was the last thing I heard

I tried to lay my guns to ground nights before
then the fire came that is why you found me at your door
please hide me from the darkness, and the horror thats outside
cause when the ground does shake beneath our feet, I feel im losing time

If the sun dont rise in time for my last words
the sound of sorrowed strings will be enough to wake the birds
when its time to put that fiddle down youll know
so just play me to the heavens, so my body wont go cold

this hallowed ground, where my body does lay beneath the sound
thats forever there
You wont raise my ghost, your melody kept me from being host
and the devils snare
But dont you mourn, there are others
who need healing from the scorn, and those wicked winds
that blow across, bringing hardship amongst
the ridiculed and lost that cant see the end

wont you rosin up your bow for everyone
and play that lonesome fiddle tune, like the angels would have sung
