the Mountain Goats - The Plague (Jordan Lake Sessions)

Steal away at sundown, pick a place to hide

Check for signs of ambush, hunker down inside

Tired of running, tired of never standing still

Hear them riding up the hill

Men whose ribs are showing through their skin

Bringing up the rear

It's high noon somewhere

It's dark in here

Stack my ammunition, be ready when you come

You who thirst for action, I will give you some

When the smoke dies down, you can rest assured

We will know who kept his word

You who stood so proud once

I can taste your fear

You blazed like torches

It's dark in here

It's dark as a coal mine filling up with gas

I stand ready for the blast

Will you be ready when your moment comes?

Will your hands be steady when you reach down for your guns?

Did you leave your house in order when you came for me?

Is this really where you meant to be?

Just beyond your limits

Find the new frontier

I live in the darkness

It's dark in here
