Take
an eye for an eye
Take
a tooth for a tooth
Just
like they say in the Bible
Never
leave a trace or forget a face
Of
any man at the table
When
the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Sharp
enough to draw blood from a stone
He
rides through your dreams on a coach
And
horses and the fence posts
In
the midnight look like bones
Well
they've stopped trying to hold him
With
mortar, stone and chain
He
broke out of every prison
Boots
mount the staircase
The
door is flung back open
He's
not there for he has risen
He's
not there for he has risen
Well
he once killed a man with a guitar string
He's
been seen at the table with kings
Well
he once saved a baby from drowning
There
are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
Some
say they fear him
Others
admire him
Because
he steals his promise
One
look in his eye
Everyone
denies
Ever
having met him
Ever
having met him
He
can turn himself into a stranger
Well
they broke a lot of canes on his hide
he
was born away in a cornfield
A
fever beats in his head like a drum inside
Some
say they fear him
Others
admire him
Because
he steals his promise
One
look in his eye
Everyone
denies
Ever
having met him
Ever
having met him
