The water in this place tastes like blood The sickly liquid sticks to our tongues We give it to our children and drink it ourselves Because it's all we have Some folks did warn us this is no place to build a home But we had nowhere else to go So we settled in this valley beneath these black mountains To build a home And as we built our home these clouds rolled in They have been here ever since Now they ain't bad children that's what I believe But then those boys did not come home The town has been searching and rumours abound They were last seen with my girls I ask my daughters what they know But they just stared at the ground I don't want to believe it but then I found those buried clothes Blood stained red but the names still written in bold Tom and John Boyd the labels said Those boys that went missing that day Buried beneath my house Right where my daughters would play Well just the next day their bodies where found In the woods behind my house They had suffered a violent death That's what they say The town cried for answers for someone to blame They came for my girls What could I do? They are my blood So here I sit, a man condemned To pay for those boys The town believes they got their man And my girls are safe My family have long since gone my letters go unread But my girls are safe And so it ends with my life, call it a willing sacrifice And on the last day they take me to the dead man's cell And as they prepare me a jailer comes rushing in He said, 'Tom and John Boyd are not alone, Two more boys have not come home
