Текст с Bandcamp’a: “When I come knockin at your door all ragged & poor I don’t want to take what’s not mine But a bite to eat & a warm place to sleep I’ll return to you someday in kind. I hope you understand that I come as a friend Though its late I intend you no fear See I’ve lost my way, a small price to pay for the things I once held so dear Worked hard all my life & I’ve sacrificed For my kin not a shilling to spare Now I’m filled with shame but there’s no one to blame ’Cept the fate that I’ve come to bare I’ve no race in my cards, no religion, no war To explain the state that I’m in But I’ve fought in the trenches then slept on some benches Is a fall from grace such a sin. Is it All for One Is it One for All Can’t you hear the pipers when they call? Like the warmth of your fire is your heart’s desire To help a stranger in need? But you’ve tightened these chains with your look of disdain You cut me & yes, I’ll bleed. No hand-outs you say &...go away Like sweeping the mice from the floor Take a bottle down, don’t pass it around Tonight, no alms for the poor Is it All for One Is it One for All Can’t you hear the pipers when they call? Well I thank you Ma’am & I extend my hand Though your fortune you cannot share I may be meek but there’s strength when I speak That this pain no one should bare So my plea’s for the tired, the weary, the poor & the ones who can tread no more Like the first days of Spring wont you let them come in When they come a’knockin at your door Is it All for One Is it One for All Can’t you hear the pipers when they call? from Drunken Redemption, released September 17, 2012“
