about

I wrote this song after realising that if you don't constantly fight for your heart to remain full of love that you can easily become hardened and embittered by the constant battles.

I’ve fought a lot this year not to let the devil win. The world is full of things that can consume and destroy us. Self-doubt, bitterness, addiction… it’s never too late to chase the devil down.

lyrics

Find for me my roving boots, find for me my gown. Call for me my gallant horse and tie the tether down. Fetch for me my roaming lamp, purse of pence and pound. The time has come to take my gun, chase the devil down.

Chase the devil down my dear. Chase the devil down. Time has come to take my gun and chase the devil down.

Take for me my children three and take for me my crown. Make for me my travelling bag of the finest hide and down. Bring to me my shield and sword and let the bugle sound. All to feed this fight to free this heart of high renown.

Heart of high renown my dear, heart of high renown. All to feed this fight to free this heart of high renown.

And the damage done by the hand the devil holds on me had all but won, for I fell in with the enemy, but I will ride and bring back home a heart of blood and not of stone. A heart of blood not stone.

So wait for me my constant love. Wait for me my sons. Hold for me a patient frame until my deed is done.

Be for me a steady hand ‘til homeward I am bound, ‘til I have been to fight the fiend and chased the devil down.

The damage done by the hand the devil holds on me had all but won, for I fell in with the enemy, but I will ride and bring back home a heart of blood and not of stone. A heart of blood not stone.
