About the Artist
Lyrics
A few dark words you said to me I drew a blank and then I flew I walked the plank into the blue My heartbeat in leagues of silence I walked along the coral snow I saw some lights, an old hotel The bell was rung, the glasses filled That cloudy drink that blackens bile The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning You said at last, let's have a duel Out by the pines, the day is warm I played the fool and when it passed The gadflies swarmed and then they dined The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning The shade is drawn with stem and vine Burned in the flame of a man condemned With venom wine and golden dawn A silver bullet in the chamber turning
