the execution of thomas scott

it was a shaking in the stars
that led louis riel astray
while he lied cold on the grass
near a blood running river
buried in wool, liquor
turning to angels from his mouth

the stars I saw in your eyes
when you sat ashamed next to me
lifted any religion from my mouth
forever, so now we're here
but can't be settled
we are gunfire in the hills
