Black Tusk

Lyrics

Buried in my past, a casket

Knows who I’m supposed to be

A life I left behind

To engage with darker seeds

Half-a-man and half-a-monster,

Will you tell me which is more?

I’m always made to choose

Between two selves which I abhor


Now where I go, Black Tusk follows

Their hearts all marked with sin

I can outrun my shadow, but

You can’t outrun the dark within


Opportune at last rebellion

Gave its truth to me

In a group of misfits I found

the means to be set free

Cast aside the horrid masters

Who will chase me ‘til I’m dead

I’ll save an arrow for them,

My new friends will paint them red


Now where I go, Black Tusk follows

Their hearts all marked with sin

I can outrun my shadow, but

You can’t outrun the dark within


I know where there's magic,

There's freedom.

At least where there's magic,

There's freedom.


Now where I go, Black Tusk follows

I can outrun my shadow

The Story
