El Kuroke Lyrics

The Dead South
The Dead South lyrics of El Kuroke is a dark folk ballad describing loss, trauma and violence, which can become the cause of great changes in one's life. The narration concerns a man who recalls how he lost a close person because of some violent incident and analyzes the effects of this experience on his future. The themes of grief, rage, innocence, and revenge are developed in the lyrics, and the line "Massacre of El Kuroke" repeats and becomes the key element of the song. Instead of considering violence in its simplicity, the author combines it with personal loss and the impact of painful experiences on one's life. The Dead South – El Kuroke is a dark tale with a folk and bluegrass tune.

El Kuroke Song Lyrics

Oh, glorious father where have you been
I’ve been fighting all of my sins
Mindless games and weary dreams
This madness comes from within
Oh, why did you leave me here to see the day
The soldiers took my Rose away
They beat and battered, tore and shattered
My innocence was lost this way

They say the Devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire it burns so damn cold
At the massacre of El Kuroke

When I was just a little boy
I dreamed of playing with flowers and toys
But now I only see death
When a boy’s lover is ripped away, he pulls out his guns to play
Until everyone is dead

They say the Devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire it burns so damn cold
At the massacre of El Kuroke
At the massacre of El Kuroke

Well that’s the way it had to be, I grew up at the count of three
Got no reason to repent
They say a man isn’t born to kill
He learns it as a trade and becomes a thrill
That’s what they did to me then
That's what they did to me then

They say the Devil had their souls
The night they took away my Rose
The fire it burns so damn cold
At the massacre of El Kuroke
At the massacre of El Kuroke
At the massacre of El Kuroke
