Beggars Opera – The Fox Lyrics
Artist: Beggars Opera
Song: The Fox
Cries behind me as I rush across the meadow
Hungry hounds are getting closer all the time
I can hear the sound of horses on the gallop
Don’t they know that in God’s eyes, it is a crime?
City gent turns on their horses to go faster
Chilling slurs have now become my battle cry
I am tired and my legs are growing weaker
Could it be that I can see death going by?
At last, I have found peace
Alone in the dark
But how long can I stay here?
For I hear the hounds bark
Brеaking from cover now
Hearing the trumpеt sound, hey
Hissing and panting now
Fleeing across the ground, hey
Dogs coming closer, run
Knowing the time has come, hey
Snarling and snapping, run
Senses becoming numb, hey, hey, hey, hey
Gather round to see the fun
Come and see what we have done
Today’s the day we’ve won our prize
We’ve cut the fox right down to size
Leave out its mush and leave its head
Perhaps to make a little more
We’ve got the rush and lots of lead
And smear our faces in its blood
We go on back and drink our fill
We meet again for another kill
We chase the fox right out of breath
And smell again the fear of death
