Over the Western Songtext
von Johnny Long

They turned the screw that twisted the knife
The actions that ended the sorry life
They twisted the knife that turned the screw
But who am I to say they had come unglued

They walked like gods together through desert rain
They buried the senses until they could feel no pain
Atop the tower of power that′s where they will be
As I face the sunset over the western sea

They turned the screw that twisted the knife
The actions that ended the sorry life
They twisted the knife that turned the screw
But who am I to say they had come unglued


They walked like gods together through desert rain
They buried the senses until they could feel no pain
Atop the tower of power that's where they will be
As I face the sunset over the western sea

They looked at me as they looked at you
They asked is this what you wanted to do
They looked at you as they looked at me
But who was I to ask anyone what did you see

They walked like gods together through desert rain
They buried the senses until they could feel no pain
Atop the tower of power that′s where they will be
As I face the sunset over the western sea

Waiting and hoping for heavenly bands
I walked through the wildwood extending my hand
The devils confounded the angels were stilled
From the western shore they made their final stand


They walked like gods together through desert rain
They buried the senses until they could feel no pain
Atop the tower of power that's where they will be
As I face the sunset over the western sea
