가사
[Intro]
[whistling]
[Verse]
I walked along to dust and song and eerie raven cries.
The winds over tombstones howling their sweet lullabies.
The parched promised land behind me exposed as nothing but a lie.
Before me lay the crossroads where angels came to die. (where angels came to die)
[whistling]
[Verse 2]
In th' saloon with poorly plucked tune and barman with golden smile.
A gentleman with oiled moustache and superb sense of style.
I won a hand that I ought not win, but still I claimed my prize.
The gentleman's grin steeped in sin, foreshadowed my demise. (foreshadowed my demise)
[Refrain]
Denials done and anger's won, as grey sky's proceed to darken.
The only recourse, beyond remorse, is to begin the bargain. (Is to begin the bargain)
[whistling]
[Verse 3]
At that place where two roads meet, I began to toil.
I sunk down there, my sacrifice, a dead meat into the soil.
When I rose, and dusted off, stood over buried vessel.
The gentleman appeared with horns of red,
a sure sign of the devil. (A sure sign of pure evil)
[Refrain]
Denials done and anger's won, as grey sky's proceed to darken.
The only recourse, beyond remorse, is to begin the bargain. (Is to begin the bargain)
[End]

[Verse 4]
Deal complete, no ink or sheet, we shook and then departed.
Years later, with fancy suit, I'm back to where I started.
Cost a soul to reach my goal, and battered by the storms.
Same crossroads, different carcass, and now I wear the horns. (And now I wear the horns)
[Refrain]
Denials done and anger's won, as grey sky's proceed to darken.
The only recourse, beyond remorse, is to make another bargain. (Is to make another bargain)
