The Switch and the Spur

In the heat of
the desert sun,
on the blistering trail
An appaloosa and,
a wanted man
sprung from jail
Slow in motion
and shadow-less

The switch and the spurs
Every living thing,
with a fatal sting
Bark and rattle this curse

The rider hallucinates
The snapping hooves
on the sand
Spits a venom dream,
recalls a stranger scream
And a broken hand...
The saddle spotted
with sweat and blood
The poison pumps
through his veins
There's no stopping this,
and now he's powerless
Still holding the reigns

Any pour souls who
trespass against us
Whether it be beast or man
Will suffer the bite or
be stung dead on sight
By those who
inhabit this land
For there's is the power
and this is the kingdom
As sure as the sun does burn
So enter this path,
but heed these four words,
You shall never return...
