Sten Bowen - On the Wall That Night Lyrics

On the wall that night
The armies all surrounded you
You came to me gently and said
This is what I'm going to do
You built an altar
For the God with no ears
You laid me softly on the burning bier
You were so desperate
So handsome to me
You were an angel
Like an orphan at my feet
The wide eyes of the people
Stared in disbelief
Your mother begged you boy
To give me some relief
They brought the wine
And I drank up my fill
But I spit the poison out
And watched the hollah boys all stand still
You were so desperate
You were handsome to me
You were an Angel
Like an orphan at my feet
This was kingdom
These were your people at your feet
O lonely me
You cried when you lit the fire
I said it's okay boy
As the flames grew higher
You screamed
O my God what have I done
Tried to untie my wrists
Tried to untie my wrists
But I said
Don't be crazy boy it's time to run
You screamed
O my God what have I done
Tried to untie my wrists
Tried to untie my wrists
But I said
Don't be crazy now it's time to run
You screamed
O my God what have I done
Tried to untie my wrists
Tried to untie my wrists
But I said
Don't be crazy now it's time to run
Remember me when you are king of the streets again
You were so desperate
So handsome to me
This was your kingdom
All these people at your feet
You were an angel
Like an orphan at my feet
O lonely me
