There's a storm outside my window
This is a song for an upcoming independent movie called 'A stormy night at O'Malley's bar'.
What you're about to read shouldn't be taken very seriously :)
Story behind the song
Short for now..will continue this later..:o)
I started to chat with a guy called Joakim Petersson through a messageboard, I knew he was a student making movies. We started to talk about a project of his, and I said that maybe I could help out a little bit with the music :)
Lyrics
There’s a storm outside my window.
I see a woman on the street
She tries to make her living
She don’t know the men she meet
Yet another broken streetlight
And the worst is yet to come
Lying there in darkness
She was killed when she tried to run
Death is all around me
It seems to be my life
Everywhere is darkness
And nowhere is the light
I’ve always been a loner
I can’t have a normal life
No friends, no one to talk to
No kids and no wife
The interstate is empty
I have no headlights on
I’m driving to a meeting
To get a target to hunt down
I remember all their faces
I remember all their names
At night I hear them screaming
As they haunt me in my dreams
I’m thinking of my childhood
Three brothers in one bed
The worst you can imagine
Now two of them are dead
I grew up in a trailerpark
Not far from Tennessee
My mother worked at the factory
She was always good with me
My father went to Vietnam
Why, he didn’t know
He came back as a wounded man
But the scares he’d never show
Around the time when mommy left
Jack Daniels became his friend
The two of them would stay up late
Because Jack could comprehend
Walking home from school one day
I heard sirens, and people yell
Our home had burned down to the ground
I will never forget that smell
The firemen they told me
That my brothers and dad were gone
My dad forgot a candle
And it didn’t take that long
I never saw my mom again
She died by her own hand
Her children dead, because of Jack
And the man she couldn’t stand
So I grew up angry at the world
I had a gun, I had my hate
My first kill was a man my age
My destiny became his fate
I always please the paying man
His wish is in my sights
No guilt, but bless the victims soul
As it lives on through the night
There’s a storm outside my window
I see a man, he’s hiding still
I’m trying to make my living
I don’t know the men I kill
