EVIL'S PATH

She was a treasure born in Dawson County

Perfection in the human form

He was a miner out of Butte, Montana

Powerful, but deeply scorned

He saw her at the church one Sunday morning

As she was coming through the door

Angels in Heaven screamed out a warning

He'd never wanted something more

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Winds brought the moaning of the watching Angels

Everyone looked to the skies

Tears cascaded from the crying Heavens

Trying to guide her back inside

The beauty couldn't know, that the Angels were

Releasing drops of Heaven's wrath

Trying to dissuade what fate delivers

When pure lies in evil's path

~~*~~

She started walking to her Daddy's stables

Just on the other side of town

He was hidden in the sheltered forest

He grabbed her and he drug her down

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Winds brought the moaning of the watching Angels

He turned his back towards the skies

Tears cascaded from the crying Heavens

As evil stained another life

The shattered couldn't know, that the Angels were

Releasing drops of Heaven's wrath

Helpless to control what fate delivers

When pure lies in evil's path

~~*~~

~~~~~~*Bridge*~~~~~~

When she was born, her Daddy named her Lily

Gained a treasure, but lost the mine

He never questioned the Lord's decision

He believed in God's Grand Design

But when he saw his Lily crawl into the stables

The Angels winced from his cries

Hell was surfacing in Dawson County

As vengeance overcame his mind

~~~*3rd Chorus*~~~

Winds brought the moaning of the watching Angels

He raised his fists to the skies

Tears cascaded from the crying Heavens

As evil claimed another life

The broken couldn't know, that the Angels were

Releasing drops of Heaven's wrath

Helpless to control what fate delivers

When pure lies in evil's path

~~*~~

~~~*Faded Finale*~~~

They are shouting in Butte, Montana

That a man has disappeared 

There are whispers in Dawson County

That's how we deal with evil here...
