Bonnie Prince Billy
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Born in sheep's blood, plain and simple
2
Washed out of my mother's temple
3
All around, I heard them laughing
4
As father sheep had stood there calving
5
Black they were with white eyes gleaming
6
Right in leaven life was seeming
7
Brittle wind blew snow upon me
8
I got blanketed all white and frosty
9
In my time I grew and killed them
10
Or out of memory I willed them
11
And willed in a greater history
12
Out of massacre and mystery
13
Was no longer wealthy, wholly
14
Nor anything I could grasp fully
15
Someone rush to re-inject me
16
Gods of gods, won't you protect me?
17
Fixed my face and marching onward
18
Marching, running, ever forward
19
Buildings were a bloody vessel
20
Edging me below the trestle
21
There in coal and whitened gravel
22
I built a shield of wooden baffle
23
Inside of which I raised a fire
24
So I could tonight retire
25
Everyone will tell you it's evil to be
26
A free-thinking pecker like Bonnie old me
27
But I'll flex my armies and blow out my gut
28
And prove I'll be loved by any old slut
29
Look here in my wallet
30
It's loaded and true
31
And now we can leave here
32
And go and find you
