Black Wings
Take an eye for an eyeTake a tooth for a toothJust like they say in the BibleNever leave a trace or forget a faceOf any man at the tableAny man at the tableWhen the moon is a cold chiseled daggerAnd It Sharp enough to draw blood from a stoneHe rides through your dreams on a coachAnd horses and the fence postsIn the moonlight look like bones.
Well they've stopped trying to hold himWith mortar, stone and chainHe broke out of every prisonWhen the boots mount the staircaseThe door is flung back openHe's not there for he has risen,He's not there for he has risen
Some say once killed a man with a guitar stringHe's been seen at the table with kingsWell he once saved a baby from drowningThere are those that say beneath his coat there are wingsBut some say they fear himSome say they fear himOthers admire himBecause he steals his promiseOne look in his eyeEveryone deniesEver having met himEver having met him
He can turn himself into a strangerWell they broke a lot of canes on his hideHe was born away in a cornfieldA fever beats in his head just like a drum insideSome say they fear himOthers admire himBecause he steals his promiseOne look in his eyeEveryone deniesEver having met himEver having met himEver having met himEver having met himEver having met himEver having met him
