Brother Jacob

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
Jake is shivering to the bone
Run off to the hills
Brother Jacob don't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone

Jacob was a foolish man
Wore his cold heart on his sleeve
With hopes to wed sweet Caroline
Assured she'd never leave
Jacob was obsessive
He'd keep her in his sight
She fell in love and ran from him
One cold and lonely night

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone

Two nights before her wedding
Jake killed with no remorse
His evil plan it all panned out
Soon guilt would take its course
Alone there in the cold wet dawn
To soak in the rising sun
He knew this man was innocent
Felt wrong for what he had done

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone

At the cancelled wedding
No bride or groom in sight
The church filled up with people
Wearing black instead of white
Here lies Brother Jacob
The fool that never won
For the law caught up with Jacob
While he was on the run

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
Jake is shivering to the bone
Run off to the hills
Brother Jacob don't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
Jake is shivering to the bone
Run off to the hills
Brother Jacob don't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone

When darkness prevails
Brother Jacob can't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
Jake is shivering to the bone
Run off to the hills
Brother Jacob don't go home
There's a man in the cold ground
It should be he who stands alone
