lyrics
WHERE I AM
Where I am I cannot sit
My place has became rough and sharp
The roof is low the walls are thick
Where I am I cannot stand
I am a stranger to my house
I lie inside I’ve been banished
I am a sinner and their plan
Is to make me pray I’m punished
I just see the ravens
Flying in the air
Hear the ravens
Screaming their old song
Feel the ravens
Waiting for my death
Where I am I cannot kneel
I was locked up two years ago
Poor body well numbed in my cell
I’m kept alive they want it so
I just see the ravens
Flying in the air
Hear the ravens
Screaming their old song
Feel the ravens
Waiting for my death
I’ve got just one thing to do
Look at the hill, the hill in front of me
That’s where they hung the man I knew
That’s where they put the gallow-tree
I just see the ravens
Flying in the air
Hear the ravens
Screaming their old song
Feel the ravens
Waiting for my death
I just see the ravens
Coming next to me
I just hear the ravens
Slippin’ to my cell
I just feel the ravens
Sharing my damned flesh
