Vineyard

(Solo)

[Intro]
Strummin' my guitar, fierce and slow,
Tale of a vineyard where the hard winds blow.

(Solo)

[Verse 1]
A man planted a vineyard, laid it out real right,
Built a sturdy tower, hedges growin' tight.
Set it out to the workers, went away to far lands,
Left his beloved son, holdin' hope in his hands.


[Pre-Chorus]
But when he sent the servants, to collect what was due,
They beat 'em and cast 'em away, nothin' they wouldn’t do.
Wounded, they cast stones, blood on the ground,
It's a hard country story, a bitter sound.


[Chorus]
Oh, the vineyard’s cryin’, beneath the steel gray sky,
Floods of trouble, hear the angels cry.
Send the son, send the truth, send the light,
Hard rock blues in the dead of night.


[Verse 2]
Another came, they wounded him too, cast him out in shame,
Killin' hopes like burnin' coal, playin' their wicked game.
But the father keeps tryin', sends his kin,
In the stormy dark, where the sinners grin.


[Pre-Chorus]
They kill one after another, yet still he yearns,
For the love of his son, for the hope that burns.
Stones and blood, battlegrounds, pain in every scar,
Sings the mournin' blues, from near and far.


[Chorus]
Oh, the vineyard’s cryin’, beneath the steel gray sky,
Floods of trouble, hear the angels cry.
Send the son, send the truth, send the light,
Hard rock blues in the dead of night.


(Solo)


[Bridge]
Can’t you hear the echoes, of the pain and pride?
In the wild wind blowin’, across the rocky stride.
Guitar wails like a lament, drums beat like a plea,
In the dark of the night, it’s the lost and thee.


[Outro]
So we remember the story, of love gone wrong,
In the land of shadows, where they don’t belong.
Hope’s a flicker, a sacred spark,
Guitar and soul in the cold, dark park.
