Am
Waking up in a sea of enmity
Dm
Could this be my last recourse
Am
Will these men conspire to end me
Dm
Must I mount this feeble horse 
Am
Ride into the southern distance
Dm
Leave behind this life I've led
Am
Shall I risk my own existence
Dm
O'er these words that must be said

        Dm
        Southbound as the wind blows past me
        Am
        To the town I've left behind
        Dm
        Will this plague of hate outlast me
        E                C  G5    Am
        Will I find some peace of mind

|Am . . . |Dm . . . | x2

Am
Onwards cross the scorching sands
Dm
My sole companion left as dead
Am
Now on foot in foreign lands
Dm
And still that price upon my head
Am
The weeks cocoon, fly off as years
Dm
And still I wander wondering
Am
Has my life been worth the tears
Dm
And will my last breath mean a thing

        Dm
        Southbound as the wind blows past me
        Am
        To the town I've left behind
        Dm
        Will this plague of hate outlast me
        E                C G5     Am
        Will I find some peace of mind
