"The Gun and the Gold"
Original Music & Lyrics by Samantha Preis

When all the bread's gone
Will the father hear my calls
In the clutter
In the dim light
In a world full of souls
Will he hear mine

Whoah, whoah, whoah
Whoah, whoah, whoah
We're burning leaves at dawn
Cigarettes feed the calm

For here there lives a black light
Just like a serpent beyond white pickets
It writhes and slithers
Never could forget

In the broad light
Beyond closed shutters
Concealing its true colors
With a black book
By the bedside
In prayer and in cries

Whoah, whoah, whoah
Whoah, whoah, whoah

Unfeeling, the Gun and the Gold
No regrets, fear the bold

For here there lives the dark rage of defiance
And I've the go ahead
I've got these old ways down to a science
And I'm gonna burn the bridge

And go, whoah whoah
Whoah, whoah, whoah

The current's strong against the boat
Jibe the sails, ease the load

For here I feel the hard strain of the giant,
Feel how firm he grasps
But I've got the courage of a lion
And I'm steering firm ahead

Alone, whoah, whoah
Whoah, whoah, whoah
Whoah, whoah
