Songtext zu 'Orsa Ad Finis (I Ran)' von Musical Blades

It's been twenty years December since that evening I was with her
and for twenty years my vision remains true
Well I offered her my bed and a day we soon could wed
without a doubt her smile it said the same thing too

But when I woke up the next morning, me bonnie she was gone
All I found was a note by the bed
It said, you're so sweet young son but this is how I have my fun
Go and find a bonnie with a heart like yours instead

So I ran to the garden and I ran through the woods
I ran down the road to the nearest town
I searched alleyways and streets and questioned everyone I did meet
Have you seen me bonnie lass anywhere around

Discouraged I could not find her and to everyone described her
Until one man said, did you check across the road
It's one place I hadn't been, the local brothel full of sin
As I stepped close my heart jumped to my throat

Well I opened up that door, soon greeted by a whore
Describing all the features of the girl I was with the night before
She said she's busy now young lad, so unless there's another one that you'll have
Wait your turn and take a seat there by the door

Well I had ran to the garden and I'd ran through the woods
I ran down the road to the nearest town
I searched alleyways and streets and questioned everyone I did meet
Have you seen me bonnie lass anywhere around

Well me blood began to boil, and visions were uncoiled
So I shoved that strumpet down and headed up the stairs
I kicked open every door until I found that filthy whore
Her bed mate jumped up with a knife and an icy glare

Me naked bonnie started crying, and I'm not afraid of dying
So I jumped right in and caught that bastards arm
I took his knife and knocked him cold then I slit her bloody throat
The whole house screamed and I heard the alarm

So I ran to the garden and I ran through the woods
I ran to the shore with a new found yearn
Where a ship had just left dock, the guards chasing me wouldn't stop
So I jumped in and swam out to the stern

The ships Captain gave me pardon, he said she had it coming
The crew laughed and scorned her and offered up some rum
since then I killed twenty-nine men, I've raped and pillaged on sea and land
but now it seems my wicked days are done

Because here I am on the gallows, and the rope has been pulled taut
I'm hit by fruit and rocks and rotten meat
My sentence it is read, in a moment I'll be dead
About that time the floor collapsed beneath my feet........

Well I ran to the garden I ran through the woods
I ran all the way to the bloody shore
but the character in this song he's as dead as dead can be
and he won't be bloody running anymore
