Lyrics: The Highwayman fell down and thought, “God, not again, they'll see!” The fires in his bones arose And began to seethe And all the SOULs of all his friends began shining in a flame burning white

White snow White SOULs

The Highwayman then tried to smile He said, “I'm fine! A little tired.” But when he tried to stand again His smile expired And all the monsters came to aid They stayed, but couldn't stem the fire

White SOULs White walls White, the color of a fire dreaded, blazing as he falls

White walls White heat White, the color of a king who forced his daughter to retreat

He found himself a shambling shell But “BURN” was now his only thought The fires in his bones arose A consuming maw And no one knew just what to do There was no help they could see

The fires in his bones awoke And desired to feed

They tried to burn the surrounding walls of glass Then they raged and swirled, a creaking dirge his core sang They burned and blazed with need and rage And memory clear never once in him rang As his friends in their grief all tried With sympathy and words and love to help him revive

White walls White light White, the color of a phantom of a soldier, lost a fight

White light White lace White, the color of a BRAV’RY bright enough to rage replace

White, a SOUL’s nat’ral color White, a lost child, a brother White, the storm's passed, it's over
