The Ballad o Lil Lemon by The Mechanisms Lyrics
“Now it’s time for an old Perdition favourite. I’m sure you know it so… feel free to sing along to the Ballad of Lil’ Lemon.”
[Verse 1]
Upon a wave of ghostfire, she strode into the maze
With six barrels on her pistol and her trigger all ablaze
Vengeance for her father is what the stranger sought
But her bullets showed no mercy to the evil that she caught
[Chorus]
Her name was Lil, Lil Lemon
She wore a coat as black as night
Outlaw, monster or demon
All fell before her badge’s blazin’ light
[Verse 2]
She rode into Perdition with her posse on her heels
Her Marshal’s badge was made o’ tin, her soul was made of steel
In seven days she beat some law and order into town
And then rode into the desert as the sun was goin’ down
[Verse 3]
In Shan Fan she made damn sure the Triads would despair
Kang, Tam, Red Petals Su, all quell beneath her stare
And as the Chinese wars began, and the city was on fire
No-ones chi was strong enough to stand before her ire
[Chorus]
Her name was Lil, Lil Lemon
She wore a coat as black as night
Outlaw, monster or demon
All fell before her badge’s blazin’ light
[Verse 4]
At last her father’s killer descended from the sky
An angel o’ Grimme named Garrett Black with murder in his eye
A thousand men had tried and failed to bring him to the ground
But Lemon was the one to finally put ‘im six feet down
[Verse 5]
And when at last our hero fell, with a dagger in her back
She died with a smile on her lips, as the ground began to crack
And the say that when the California moon is shinin’ bright
You may see her badge still shining as she fights the hero’s fight
[Chorus]
Her name was Lil, Lil Lemon
She wore a coat as black as night
Outlaw, monster or demon
All fell before her badge’s blazin’ light
[Chorus]
Her name was Lil, Lil Lemon
She wore a coat as black as night
Outlaw, monster or demon
All fell before her firm resolve
All fell before her pistol cold
All fell before her badge’s blazin’ light
Thank you
