The Crown - Dead Man's Song lyrics

rate me

When I'm long since gone, still you can hear me in this song A voice from the dead, into your room to fill your head Remember this, when I'm haunting from beyond When the circle's closed, and this is sealed as the dead man's song! When the stranger appears riding through your dreams...as pale as bones A heartless killer in rattlesnake boots Some say that he went down to the crossroads...and bent down on his knees He sold his soul to the big bad black Lost in the sand, temptated by the serpent's hiss Voodoo drum - coyotes howl in the fullmoon's night Now hypnotized, all alone on the desert plains Expect no mercy! You'll meet your fear as the stranger appears... Enter deadwood saloon, now your protected world is gone Your helpless mind is about to discover the living darkness Let the game begin! Let the desperate souls in! He drains their strength and leaves them in the void of shadows, dust and smoke The cards are given, now place your bets with your soul at stake But as a sinner you live to win, throwing the dice... You get triple six and flash a gain of gold! He's never lost before, but now he's been given the dead man's hand Shot in the back with a diamond bullet, straight through the heart Where the darkest rivers run cold and deep, his silverdollar eyes glimmering death As birds and blood come flowing out of his mouth, you thank the blackest ace Fuck you and your God above, I pity you all. I pity you all 'til you die! 'Til you die! Dead man's hand! When I'm long since gone, still you can hear me in this song A voice from the dead, into your room to fill your head Remember this, when the circle is closed and the stranger's dead That even death can die in a dead man's song...
