Lyrics
intro
Yeah…
Dark nights, fire in my veins…
They call me Dallah Mabrouk… listen close.
verse
The crows are gathering on the sagging wire
The sky is the color of a gutter fire
I’ve spent forty years building up this wall
Just to sit up high and watch the shadows fall
My hands are stained with the ink of the debt
And a thousand promises I haven’t kept yet
The floorboards are cold, the whiskey is dry
It’s a lonesome season to say goodbye.
chorus
Oh, there ain’t no choir for the man of stone
You reap the briars that you’ve already sown
No silver lining in the thundercloud
Just a heavy heart and a tattered shroud
It’s a long, dark walk where the light is restricted
There’s a heavy price for dying wicked.
verse
I remember the faces of the ones I stepped down
On my way to the top of this hollowed-out town
I traded the gold for a heart made of lead
Now the ghosts are the only ones sharing my bed
The river is rising, the bridge is all burned
And I’m holding the lessons I never quite learned
The clock on the mantle is ticking so slow
Counting the seeds that I refused to grow.
chorus
Oh, there ain’t no choir for the man of stone
You reap the briars that you’ve already sown
No silver lining in the thundercloud
Just a heavy heart and a tattered shroud
It’s a long, dark walk where the light is restricted
There’s a heavy price for dying wicked.
bridge
Don't pray for my soul, the sky is too deaf
I’m gasping for mercy with my very last breath
But the devil don't bargain with a man who's his kin
I’m just a vessel for the weight of my sin.
break
[Guitar Solo - Slow, distorted, and bluesy]
outro
Dying wicked...
Yeah, the silence is loud.
Dying wicked...
No cheers from the crowd.
Just the wind in the pines
And the end of the line.
(Fade out)
