A Song about Saving your Home

---

Years ago I had a conversation with a good friend about what we'd do if we were in a life-or-death situation. It's hard to know exactly how I'd respond, but I'd like to think that I would go down fighting at least, and defending those in need. This song came from that conversation, and was written from the perspective of someone desperately trying to defend his home in time of war.

This recording really features the musicality of the Miller Road Band, who also happen to be my talented nephews and nieces. The cacophonous sound of the violin in this especially stands out, and because the violinist is classically-trained, it went against everything she was taught to create this kind of discord, but I'm really glad she did because it really captures the emotion of fighting to the end.

Once again, thank you Steemians, for your support and for this @DSound platform to share new songs!

Lyrics:

Those devils are comin’ with the wind
Those devils are comin' with the wind
They’ve come to plunder, come to sin
Those devils are comin' with the wind

You women go underground
You women go underground
And pull that trigger if you are found
You women go underground

I may be going down but I’m taking more
I may be going down but I’m taking more
Just pray you're not the first to come through my door
I may be going down but I’m taking more

So you devils come in after me
You devils come in after me
Where you’ll meet your destiny
You devils come in after me

When that dirge rolls across the land
When that dirge rolls across the land
At least they’ll sing that I died a man
When that dirge rolls across the land
