Bones of My Own

Verse 1

In a crypt where no light fell

Just the whispers of the dead

Nabo opened both his eyes

With no heart inside his chest

Dust had settled on his bones

Forgotten dagger at his side

Pages torn and yellowed thin

In the silence he would hide

Chorus

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Nabo walks where none have gone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Learning words from books alone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Forty years beneath the stone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Now the skeleton's his own

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Comic strips taught him to laugh

Fighting manuals taught him war

He would ask the silent skulls

What's the other side that door?

Master left without a word

Left me rattling down here

Why's my mind the only one

That can face the dark and fear?

Chorus

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Nabo walks where none have gone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Learning words from books alone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Forty years beneath the stone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Now the skeleton's his own

Bridge

Step by step through broken halls

Decade after decade crawls

Found the light that split the dark

Took a breath without a heart

Chorus

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Nabo walks where none have gone

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

World is wide and wind is cold

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Stories waiting to be told

(Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo)

Nabo walks upon his own
