Brother Jacob

When darkness prevails

Brother Jacob can't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

Jake is shivering to the bone

Run off to the hills

Brother Jacob don't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

It should be he who stands alone

Jacob was a foolish man

Wore his cold heart on his sleeve

With hopes to wed sweet Caroline

Assured she'd never leave

Jacob was obsessive

He'd keep her in his sight

She fell in love and ran from him

One cold and lonely night

When darkness prevails

Brother Jacob can't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

It should be he who stands alone

Two nights before her wedding

Jake killed with no remorse

His evil plan it all panned out

Soon guilt would take its course

Alone there in the cold wet dawn

To soak in the rising sun

He knew this man was innocent

Felt wrong for what he had done

When darkness prevails

Brother Jacob can't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

It should be he who stands alone

At the cancelled wedding

No bride or groom in sight

The church filled up with people

Wearing black instead of white

Here lies Brother Jacob

The fool that never won

For the law caught up with Jacob

While he was on the run

When darkness prevails

Brother Jacob can't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

Jake is shivering to the bone

Run off to the hills

Brother Jacob don't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

It should be he who stands alone

When darkness prevails

Brother Jacob can't go home

There's a man in the cold ground

Jake is shivering to the bone

Run off to the hills

Brother Jacob don't go home
