Caretaker
Caretaker's Redemption: A Tale of Sin, Revenge, and the Price Paid
Lyrics
Time wears thin when you live in sin
Time becomes scarce when living a sinful life.
He'll hunt you down on the long haul
A relentless pursuer will track you during the long journey.
Live a crooked life then you'll pay the price
If you lead a dishonest life, consequences will follow.
At the end of his old colt lord
At the conclusion of his old colt lord, likely referring to a gunfight.
Pull the hammer back and the gun goes crack
When the trigger is pulled, the gun fires on the cold floor.
On the cold floor you'll fall
You'll collapse on the cold floor after the gunshot.
The old tale said you'd wind up dead
An old tale predicted death for those praying on the downfall of others.
For praying on his downfall
Punishment awaits those wishing harm on others.
Don't ask why Hide the fear in your eyes
Do not question, hide the fear in your eyes.
Don't you cry
Do not shed tears; a soul will be taken.
He's gonna take your soul
A soul will be claimed as payment for transgressions.
Was a time, he did not ride he had himself a good life
There was a time when he lived well until tragedy struck.
Until a man took his wife ended her with a knife
A man took his wife's life with a knife, leading to a pact with the bad man.
Now he sold his soul to the bad man
He traded his soul to the bad man.
Put a Barrell to his head only saw blood red
He faced a desperate situation, seeing only blood when staring down the barrel.
The list goes on and on y'all
The list of tragedies and sins is extensive.
Don't ask why
Do not question, conceal your fear.
Hide the fear in your eyes
Keep your fear hidden, do not inquire why.
Don't you cry
Despite the challenges, do not cry.
He's gonna take your soul
A soul will be claimed by the bad man.
He rolled in like the whistling wind the clan all stood tall
He arrived swiftly, causing the clan to stand tall.
There was 20 men dead when the clock struck 10
Twenty men lay dead when the clock struck 10, paying for their sins.
For all the dirt they did lord
Consequences befell those who committed atrocities.
You'll think twice before you take a life
Before taking a life, one should reconsider the weight of their actions.
Now you know how it goes y'all
An explanation of the inevitable consequences for one's deeds.
Don't ask why
Do not question, keep your fear hidden.
Hide the fear in your eyes
Conceal the fear in your eyes, face the consequences.
Don't you cry
In the face of hardship, refrain from shedding tears.
He's gonna take your soul
The bad man will claim a soul.
Don't ask why Hide the fear in your eyes
Do not inquire, hide the fear in your eyes.
Going once Going Twice
An auction metaphor for the irreversible sale of something valuable.
The bids done sold
The bidding is complete; the deal is sealed.
Don't ask why
Do not question, conceal the fear within.
Hide the fear in your eyes
Hide your fear, do not ask why.
Don't you cry
Despite challenges, refrain from crying.
He's gonna take your
The bad man will claim a soul.
He's gonna take your soul
Emphasizing the imminent loss of a soul to the bad man.
