Sweeter Than The Rain

My hunter's heart may not be merciless

But on this day of freezing snow

It's as cold as the heart of the ice princess

Who didn't want to know

I take my orders, ask few questions

It's no real life for a decent man

Few clear-cut lines or regulations

Low on prospects and future plans

If you should hearken to the devil's bidding

Perchance you'll bring me work to do

It may not be my heart's true calling

But I will surely come for you

To you who live by rape and plunder

I'll shoot or hang with scant remorse

My Old Reliable, the avenging thunder

Else my rope and faithful horse

Your late companion in haste repented

I had him take a ride with me

Through this poor country he had so tormented

Until we came to the highest tree

He did reveal in his confession

That you were making for the train

This bitter snow will soon be melting

And nothing sweeter than the rain
