about

This is one of the more recent additions to the album; This became the title title track towards the end of the album's development.

lyrics

Through the trees unyielding
And snow so cold
They carried me on

And all I wanted
Was to be left out to die.

I cried with blistered eyes in sight of that morning sun

But the murderer
And the thief
They carried me on

All through that wilderness I bent their backs
Ever towards the post
A hundred miles or more

The thief
He’d murmer
And toss and turn over in his bunk
And cry at what his foolish hands had done

The murderer
Would weep of his deeds
in his sleep
For he’d killed a little of himself that night

But oh how the thief
would starve
To see me fed
And oh how the murderer
would smile to see me wake

How I hated these wicked men
Who dragged me on
And the wooden sled
That wouldn’t let me fail

Until finally at the post
of the mounted police I woke
And the murderer
And the thief were cuffed and chained

Their freedom given
For my life
An unfair exchange

these woeful sinners,
These dark men
were my friends.
