The West

by Assault & Battery

Assault and battery is the combination of two violent crimes: assault (harm or the threat of harm) and battery (physical violence). This legal distinction exists only in jurisdictions that distinguish assault as threatened violence rather than actual violence.




He stood upon the peak a mountain made of man
He dreamt of liberty upon a promised land
On fields of Native dead they build their cities tall
Too proud upon the throne, too blind to see it fall

Long will live the stories of The West
Safe behind a wall the people rest
Dreaming and asleep who counts themselves among the sheep
Long will live the stories of The West

Titans of industry replaced the kings of old
All that was sacred now is product to be sold
Working as waters rise the poor were told to pray
All died under the flood as rich men sailed away

Long will live the stories of The West
Safe behind a wall the people rest
Dreaming and asleep who counts themselves among the sheep
Long will live the stories of The West

Long will live the stories of The West
Safe behind a wall the people rest
Dreaming and asleep who counts themselves among the sheep
Long will live the stories of The West
