    Lyrics:
    See the killer was a coward
    Dark deeds in dark towers
    So he fled when they came
    Blowin' brass, carrying chains
    They wanna lock him in the dark
    They wanna kill what's in his heart
    But they left the town to hunt him down
    They left one man to hold it down
    But when they get back he's in the throne
    Looks like the killers fucking clone
    Says he's got ideas of his own
    But there's one thing he killed to know
    See there's a hero in the crowd
    And his heart starts beating loud
    Says the killer took his friend
    And decides that this is where it ends
    So the night the kings walk in the tower
    His eyes lit up with all the power
    And the hero is ghosting by the guards
    And his heart is carrying a charge
    He stabs him in his cunning heart
    The scream tore sea and sky apart
    So you want fears? We still got several
    At least the killer's dancing with the devil
    And the hero did it
    For days when you don't know if the moon will ever come, let it
    Blaze down and I'm telling you man it's sweet when it does and when I
    Think of you I think of spirit defined
    I think of all the love that we shared at a very dark time
    So the hero did it for the summer
    For long days with that sun in your hair
    For fires and family
    For the phrase "Don't ever leave me"
    The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3)
    When youre coming home now
    The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3)
    When youre coming home now

    Everything about this song is gut-wrenchingly beautiful!
    The lyrics
    The softness of the acoustic guitar vs. the power and emotion in his voice
    This song, this video, this performance has gotten me through a really tough time
    I watch it at least 10 times a day.
    It makes me feel sad but hopeful, all at the same time
    It makes me feel things deep in my soul that I didnt even know I needed to feel
    Thank you Dermot for sharing your art with us

    See the killer was a coward
    Dark deeds in dark towers
    So he fled when they came
    Blowing brass, carrying chains
    They wanna lock him in the dark
    They wanna kill what's in his heart
    And they left the town to hunt him down
    And they left one man to hold it down
    But when they get back he's in the throne
    Looks like the killer's fucking clone
    Says he's got ideas of his own
    But there's one thing he'd kill to know
    See there's a hero in the crowd
    And his heart starts beating loud
    Says the killer took his friend
    And decides that this is where it ends
    So at night the king's walking the tower
    His eyes lit up with all the power
    But the hero's ghosting by the guards
    And his heart is carrying a charge
    He stabs him in his cunning heart
    The scream tore sea and sky apart
    So you want fears? We still got several
    At least the killer's dancing with the devil
    The hero did it for days
    When you don't know if the moon'll even come
    And then it lays down
    And I'm telling you, man, it's sweet when it does
    And when I think of you I think of spirit define
    I think of all the love we shared in a very dark time
    So the hero did it for the summer
    For long days with that sun in your hair
    For fires and family
    For the phrase "don't ever leave me"
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    When you're coming home now
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    Sorrow won't be finding me no more
    When you're coming home now
