    Drifter (Lyrics, based on 'Minus Man')

    He rolled into town under cover of the night
    From where does he hail, he seemed an innocent sight
    Clean cut and shaven with an honest face
    But some have a question, 'what's brought him to that place?'
    He stopped inside a diner to have an evening bite
    No one seemed to notice the darkness in the light
    They only saw his smile, heard his softened words
    The story of his journey was all that was heard

    Driving down the road with blood on his hands
    A drifter passing through who killed another man
    No one really saw him, and no one knows his name
    But everyone agrees he's got to be insane

    Traveling the country, there's a whole world to see
    A journey of one's own as he had no family
    He didn't say too much, and left out all details
    But he said that he was there because his engine failed
    He sat at the counter placed the order for his meal
    While searching the diner for another soul to steal
    His sword is a flask hidden deep in his sleeve
    Just a few drops of poison in a cup before he leaves

    Driving down the road with blood on his hands
    A drifter passing through who killed another man
    No one really saw him and no one knows his name
    But everyone agrees he's got to be insane.
