Barony Roads

I ride at dawn in da mud, Mail coat heavy on my bones. Boots know every rut, Every bridge bears a name from a man that I cut. Bandits love a back lane, Till I slide wid da Watch. See the crest on my chest, Then hounds go still. Leave a man red in da mud, Silly fuck tried 'is luck. I count crows by da mile, Count lies by da grin. If you prey on dese roads, You gon' die inna ditch. Steel kiss, quick work, No prayers for da t'ief. Just da clack of my spear, And da grin of my teeth. Hear that? (Hoofbeats near) Hear that? (Trouble comes near) Run if you want to, I ride round here. Roads red tonight! Roads red tonight! Try my lands, And you won't get far. Roads red tonight! Roads red tonight! Bandit or wolf, You end in da dark. By the ford, I found t'ree, By the hedges, two more, T'ree rusted cruel blades, One 'ad a longbow, One 'ad fear in 'is eyes, Like a boy caught bare. "Tell your chief, Dese roads got teeth, Bring 'im here." I don't brag in da halls, I don't yell my claims, I don't keep to da tracks, I stalk t'roo da trees! If the Baron wants calm, Den I'll make it so. Every roadside ambush, Is a feast for da crows! Hear that? (Hoofbeats near) Hear that? (Trouble comes near) Run if you want to, I ride round here. Roads red tonight! Roads red tonight! Try my lands, And you won't get far. Roads red tonight! Roads red tonight! Bandit or wolf, You end in da dark. Hush now, Mud on da blade, No peace for da towns, Just coin from da crown. Old oath. Old iron vow. Bandits on da road, Now you deep in da ground. Roads red tonight! Barony roads, Stay mine. Betta watch ya back!
