When the Curfew Blows
Midnight's Cry: A Tale of Pursuit and Redemption
Lyrics
Oh the lonesomest sound, boys
Expressing the sorrowful and isolating nature of a sound.
I ever heard sound, boys,
Reiterating the profound loneliness conveyed in the sound.
On the stroke of midnight
Setting the scene at the stroke of midnight, a significant moment.
Hear the curfew blow.
Referring to the ominous sound of the curfew bell.
My body will hang, boys,
Anticipating a dire fate involving hanging.
On the hangman's rope, boys,
Specifically mentioning the hangman's rope, indicating execution.
On the gallows pole, boys,
Emphasizing the imminent execution on the gallows pole.
When the curfew blows.
Connecting the hanging fate to the sounding of the curfew.
Hear the curfew blowin'
Repeating the focus on the curfew, highlighting its significance.
Hear the curfew blowin'
Reiteration for emphasis on the curfew's eerie blowing.
In the cold black midnight
Placing the curfew blowing in the context of a cold, dark midnight.
Hear the curfew blow.
Re-emphasizing the impact of the curfew's sound in the bleakness of midnight.
The sheriff's men, boys,
Introducing a threat with the sheriff's men on the trail.
Are on my trail, boys,
Specifying the pursuers and their relentless pursuit.
In the midnight wind, boys,
Placing the pursuit in the eerie setting of the midnight wind.
Hear the curfew blow.
Reconnecting the impending danger to the curfew's ominous blowing.
And when they catch me
Anticipating capture and the dire consequences that follow.
My body will hang, boys,
Reiterating the reference to hanging as the consequence of capture.
On the gallows pole, boys,
Emphasizing the method of execution on the gallows pole.
When the curfew blows.
Linking the inevitable hanging to the sounding of the curfew.
Hear the curfew blowin'
Re-emphasizing the haunting and relentless blowing of the curfew.
Hear the curfew blowin'
Reiteration for emphasis on the continuous blowing of the curfew.
In the cold black midnight
Repeating the setting of the curfew blowing in the cold, black midnight.
Hear the curfew blow.
Re-emphasizing the significance of the curfew's haunting sound.
