lyrics

Back and forth the stories used to be told
And they would call you the redtail
For fast and swift you’d come out swinging from the hawks nest
To anyone who even tried to cross your path
You’d been abandoned, you’d been afraid for too long
You’d grown cold from the way the world had beat you down
No one knew much about you other than you were on your own these days
And that your family had been killed off long ago

The story goes they broke in when you had let down your guard one night
And once inside the cave they found your mother
Tore her limb from limb with no remorse
There was nothing you could do in the moment but hide and watch in horror
You stay silent while they searched and slayed the rest
And then you came out once they had left.
You cried for hours and held your family close
Then buried them and vowed vengeance to their death

Rumor has it you still search day and night
For the ones who forever changed your life.
I pray that one day you will take your sword upon their wicked hearts
And make them pay for the damage they have done
So I listen for you redtail
I keep the windows open each night
With the hope I hear screams from the vile ones
When you take revenge upon them under the stars
I say Good night redtail good night
