Rich Man’s Pride - Live by The Weight Lyrics

I'm sure that everybody knows
About a rich man's pride
I wanna tell you story
Of strange and tragic kind

She smiled at him so gracefully
He took her by the hand
The sky was bright, nobody knew
They plowed the devil's land

A hungry eye may never see
When love gives birth to hate
The day is through, the work is done
That's the blind man's fate


When he got up, left alone
In his anger and his shame
He looked outside his window
Into the pouring rain
Not far away, another town
Two shadows on the run
Covered by their secret
Hidden from the sun

Two riders are aproaching
A father and a son
They carry grief, they carry guns
Bullets, they have some

There they are, there they run
It's too late for goodbyes
He took my love, I take his life
It's an eye for an eye
