Had I known, had I been warned
That hawks will hover, buzzards swarm
Rattlers strike, scorpions sting
Their tiny drops could slay a king

You have told so many lies
Looked me right into the eyes
Used your powers to lure them
Crashed into your hopeless end

The Bay of Skulls have found you
The Bay of Skulls have found you

The moon has settled for the night
The days pass faster than I'd like
For I have traveled many miles
Have been met with many smiles

And every April, gray winged doves
Build their nests and guard their young
From my window's garden view
Hear their early morning coo
