The Ballad of James Howlett - Billy Raffoul

It’s been a long, long time since 1882

I’m not sure how many more moons I can take

Won’t you put me in the grave?

In the Alberta pines, I had a home

I found my bones, I killed a Rose, I have hurt

When will it be my turn?

There’s something to be said about a quick death, no time to wonder why

Wring out every breath, don’t fear the reaper

Know there’s an end in sight

Pity the man who can never die

In my chest is cold, cold steel

The scars I left they don’t quite heal like mine

But they’re with me all the time

Cut your teeth and move a bridge

It’s not for trying that I’m living still

But they have lacked the will

There’s something to be said about a quick death, no time to wonder why

Wring out every breath, don’t fear the reaper

Know there’s an end in sight

Pity the man who can never die
