Dead South, The - Massacre Of El Kuroke Lyrics






Oh glorious father, were have you been?
I've been fighting for all of my sins
Mindless games and weary dreams
This madness comes from within

Oh why did you leave me here to see that day
The soldiers took my Rose away
They beat and battered, tore and shattered
My innocence was lost this way

They say the devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire, it burned so damn cold
At the Massacre of El Kuroke

And I was just a little boy
I dreamed to play with flowers and toys
But now I only see death
When a boy's lover is ripped away
He pulls out his guns to play
Until everyone is dead

They say the devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire, it burned so damn cold
At the Massacre of El Kuroke
At the Massacre of El Kuroke

That's the way it had to be
I grew up at the count of three
Got no reason to repent
They say a man is born to kill
He learns his trade it becomes a thrill
That's what they did to me then

Well, that's the way it had to be
I grew up at the count of three
Got no reason to repent
They say a man is born to kill
He learns his trade it becomes a thrill
That's what they did to me then

They say the devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire, it burned so damn cold
At the Massacre of El
At the Massacre of El
At the Massacre of El Kuroke

  1. R.... M....

    This strikes me as very Arthur Morgan. Anyone else?

  2. r.... ....

    Have seen the Dead South twice in the last year. Both shows were an absolute blast. Buy tickets now if they coming to your town. Get close if you can, as long as you can see I pretty much guarantee it'll be a great show.

  3. H.... B....

    It a haunting song that sticks in your head. One of my favorites now.

  4. J.... R....

    Well that's the way it had to be
    I grew up at the count of three
    Got no reason to repent
    They say a man is born to kill
    He learns his trade, it becomes a thrill
    That's what they did to me then

    Also I emailed idea about freezing prices for 12 to or even couple more added and pay raises automatic large ones an put automatic always well they can work it out fairly I am sure some way if so poor rich they be thinking they are ,after all even with price down even rich get better deal more money to work with in long run if you ask it is good to follow for all.as far social security bail out election of any who are elected working on there businesses in government to help themselves should be looked at an should conduct government needs first not there benefactors if for people employees an them as well included no bribes but allowed conduct business for all not just one company fair trade kinda theory ,if other country has needs for their people in country I would like us to talk to a people not dignitary but a people who cares for there people.

  24. D.... O....

    Hi from Colombia, you are the best.

  25. I.... H....

    Anyone else imagine Stephen King's Dark Tower series being set to this album? Someone brought it up on another song on this album, and I started reading the series a while ago. This one in particular sounds a lot like it's about the Mejis flashback in Wizard and Glass, and it's awesome!

    I.... H....

    Yes my family loves that series and I know a little about it but the book I am currently writing is a mix between it fallout and mad max with a Norse overtone. This does seem like the kind of thing that would go with it.

    I.... H....

    Laws yes! Long days and pleasant nights, Sai.

    I.... H....

    Yeah, I could see that.

    I.... H....

    Long days and plesant nights

    I don't know y'all, this may be too intense for me today. Might need to stick to cousin-lovin'

  27. K.... S....

    The El Mozote Massacre took place in and around the village of El Mozote, in Morazán department, El Salvador, on December 11, 1981...WIKIPEDIA...true story

  28. G.... T....

    Amazing song! And Whoa, is that a massive Song of Ocarina influence?

  29. R.... F....

    I just absolutely love how haunting the violin resonates

    "Massacre Of El Kuroke"

    Oh glorious father, were have you been?
    I've been fighting for all of my sins
    Mindless games and weary dreams
    This madness comes from within

    Oh how did you leave me here see that day
    The soldiers took my rose away
    They beat and battered, tore and shattered
    My innocence was lost this way

    They say the devil had their souls
    The night they took away my rose
    The fire, it burned so damn cold
    At the Massacre of El Kuroke

    And I was just a little boy
    I dreamed to play with flowers and toys
    But now I only see death
    When a boys lover is ripped away
    He pulls out his guns play
    Until everyone is dead

    They say the devil had their souls
    The night they took away my rose
    The fire, it burned so damn cold
    At the Massacre of El Kuroke
    At the Massacre of El Kuroke

    That's the way it had to be
    I grew back and count to three
    Got no reason to repent
    They say a man is born to kill
    He learns his trade and becomes a thrill
    That's what they did to me then

    Well, that's the way it had to be
    I grew back and count to three
    Got no reason to repent
    They say a man is born to kill
    He learns his trade and becomes a thrill
    That's what they did to me then

    They say the devil had their souls
    The night they took away my rose
    The fire, it burned so damn cold
    At the Massacre of El
    At the Massacre of El
    At the Massacre of El Kuroke

    at the massacre of el kuroke

    when i was just a little boy
    i dreamed of playing with a thousand toys
    but now i only see death

    when a boy's lover is ripped away
    he pulls out his gun's play(??)
