lyrics

The first of five sons, they gave him a month
So no one ever gave the boy a name
But he grew up all wrong with a light that wouldn’t turn on
Somewhere deep inside a half a brain

They kept him locked up in a room with walls that no light could get through
But he would go on breathing just the same
Twenty years alone, we fed him our bones
A giant, impossible to keep
Four brothers tried a man, who’d crush them with his bare hands
When they tried to kill him in his sleep
No one ever called him by a name
There was only one, but they were five
The ol’ boy never spoke, he hit the end of that old rope
It took about a week for him to die
Don’t say that there were five…
