Drifter

1. The Drifters Chant

Inside ourselves we hold our devils

Tightly tucked under the heart

Like shadows in our life they surface

with us every step

Tainting our actions with bad intentions

Whispering to make us question

Are we here for a greater purpose

Or just to drift aimlessly in a stream of strangers

Fearful of our own existance, as;

with every step the devils snarl,

Pulling us back with gnarled claws

Into the darkness...

 but here I stand to tell of life

where whisky warms the hearts of men

as we wander from the devils

I am a drifter, free of them.
