about

A murder ballad that came rising up from the depths of a misty pond, haunting story of twisted love and abuse

lyrics

I put a secret in the ground
there where nothing grows
Scraped the bark off of the tree,
so no one would know
We’d carved our names with a 4 & ever,
4 & ever, 4 & ever, carved our names with a 4 & ever more

I put a secret in the ground
Where the water flows so slow
Threw our rings off Angel Cliff,
down to the swamp below
We’d said our vows with a 4 & ever,
4 & ever, 4 & ever said our vows with a 4 & evermore

Poetry and roses
Fade to thorn and threat
Haunted, broken rages
A kiss with a fist instead
I believed you when you said…nevermore

I put a secret in the ground
there where nothing grows
As your hands squeezed my neck
I found the dagger in your coat
I carved your stone with a 4 & ever,
4 & ever, 4 & ever carved your stone with a 4 & ever more
And I’ll carve your stone forever more
