Dead Man's Song Lyrics - Singles - Crown

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...
