33 Reasons

I have 33 reasons
      Why I won’t go home.
   I am a loyalist
                    Tortured by iniquity
          Captive of antiquity
But the snake inside me
      Is unfolding its fibers of cypress
      And the water is thicker than blood
                                   I have 33 reasons
                                         Why I wont go home.
