NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
|
You offered your love, you wanted our money You led us down the path of milk and honey You gave of your time, you showed us your soul Too late to stop the damage to the hearts you stole (CHORUS) A crooked cross, a lying priest The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast The sun is setting in the east You take the most and you give the least Mama’s in her watery grave The children pray their souls to save Your life to Satan you gladly gave Oh how to stop your vicious rage (CHORUS) A crooked cross, a lying priest The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast The sun is setting in the east You take the most and you give the least The people believe in what you tell With blinders on they join the swell You wear the mask of God so well But your righteous path leads straight to hell (CHORUS) A crooked cross, a lying priest The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast The sun is setting in the east You take the most and you give the least You gave us pleasure, you gave us pain You kicked us out the door into the rain You break our bread and you break our spine You drink our blood and you taste our wine (CHORUS) A crooked cross, a lying priest The devil’s kiss, the killer’s feast The sun is setting in the east You take the most and you give the least |
