The winds are whispering a name and tears fall from the sky
The devil's on my shoulders singin' haunted lullabies
Our walk along the road reveals a story full o' pain
I wish I'd never come to the so buried by the days

Now it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell
'Cause it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell

I curse the day and blame the world for choices all my own
I got patience of a diamond whose heart has turned to stone
The blood that's running through my veins is cold as cold can be
The darkness that I keep inside is surely killin' me

And it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell
'Cause it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell

I see a bird upon the gravestone who will lead me on my way
I see faces that I recognize whose names I cannot place
I'm a sinner in the worst way so please I'm asking you
Light a candle say a prayer for me there's nothin' left to do

'Cause it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell
'Cause it's a slow farewell
My love I sing to you this lonely road runs straight to hell
