"THE VILLAGE"
By Jesse James DeConto/The Pinkerton Raid
There’s a village on a mountain high
Whose walls are arms of love
It’s guarded by a hero throng
The creatures dare not come

The bulls run through the city streets
Trampling roses, seeing red
These waving flags just feed their rage
It’s a mad disease of fear
The herd stampedes right off the cliff
We escape by narrow trails

To a village on a mountain high
Whose walls are arms of love
Guarded by a hero throng
The creatures dare not come

The bears are sleeping in their caves
with their hibernating appetites
they hunger for what we have raised
those bears gonna eat our young
Unless we climb to higher ground
Where monsters have no power

The bulls will rage, the bears will roar
But we will stand our ground
The villagers surrender not
Our arms are bound as one

In a village on a mountain high
Whose walls are arms of love
Guarded by a hero throng
The creatures dare not come

The Village
