Promise

Hoochie coochie man in the dark
With his voodoo dolls
His Robert Johnson records play on
Every day he wastes away
Dust for bones
Fade into the bleak unknown

Magic man in the pale moonlight
A ghost or a lie
Folk law superstition we hide

No-one knows what made him this way
But some might say
The devil woman

Turned his diamonds into dust
And all his loving into rust

A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart
A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart

Empty city that's lost its goal
He sits alone
Make up masks the crack in his soul
Painted face from the book of life
Snake neck tie
Waiting for the day of the dead

The last breath he adds fuel to the fire
Spirits raise higher
Calls out beyond the grave
Through the trap door he must go
Deep down below
To find that woman

Turned his diamonds into dust
And all his loving into rust

A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart
A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart

From heaven down to hell
I command the sun and the moon
Where the waves meet the land
I will take mine back from you
Fill your eyes with a blood red sky
And a soul that is blackened through
Make you feel how I have felt
Now my gaze looks down on you

Turned his diamonds into dust
And all his loving into rust

A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart
A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart

A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart
A promise from the grave
Made by the blade
Sealed in blood
Won't mend a blackened heart
