Song
Eric Draven
merapete evans
male vocals, dark gothic rock, atmospheric, brooding, vengeful, crow imagery, rain-soaked city
Lyrics
Intro
(caw… caw…)
Verse
Crow on the shoulder, rain on the coat
Eric Draven walking through the smoke
Guitar in his hand like it’s made out of bone
Every chord a memory, every note a loan
Shelley’s picture fading in the frame
He came back different, he came back the same
Makeup like war paint, eyes like the night
One man, one mission, one endless fight
Pre-chorus
Top of the building, wind in his hair
City below him doesn’t even care
But he remembers every laugh, every tear
And the crow keeps whispering “they’re still here”
Chorus
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Back from the grave, back from the pain
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Crow on his shoulder, fire in his veins
Can’t kill what’s already dead
Can’t stop what won’t forget
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
One more night, one more debt
Verse
Tin roof, thunder, lightning in the strings
He plays for the lost, he plays for the things
That never got justice, never got heard
He answers with vengeance, he answers with words
T-Bird’s laughing, but the laugh turns to choke
Skull Cowboy’s waiting for the final joke
Funboy’s running, but the bullet’s too slow
Eric’s already there, already knows
Pre-chorus
He doesn’t need heaven, doesn’t need hell
He just needs the moment, the story to tell
Every wrong turned right with a blade or a chord
Every scream in the dark becomes a reward
Chorus
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Back from the grave, back from the pain
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Crow on his shoulder, fire in his veins
Can’t kill what’s already dead
Can’t stop what won’t forget
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
One more night, one more debt
Bridge
(crow flies, crow cries)
It was not for the living, it was not for the dead
It was for the promise he made in her bed
(crow flies, crow cries)
When the last one falls and the rain starts to fall
He’ll go back to silence, he’ll answer the call
Chorus
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Back from the grave, back from the pain
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
Crow on his shoulder, fire in his veins
Can’t kill what’s already dead
Can’t stop what won’t forget
Eric Draven, Eric Draven
One more night, one more debt
(One more night… one more debt…)
