[Verse 1] Black hat Black coat Road dust on his throat Long way from any kindness Steel cross Ghost town Graves half falling down He walks like a whispered silence [Chorus] Solomon Kane Storm in a man’s frame Carrying judgment like a flame in the rain Solomon Kane Heart carved in old pain Praying with powder and an iron chain [Verse 2] Old Inn Low fire Voices naming tire and pyre Bandits toast to what they’ve taken He stands Door frame Eyes cold as carved stone names The room feels the ground start shaking [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Mercy Mercy He asks the sky Is it mercy if the wicked die? Mercy Mercy Sword in his hand Every scar another vow he can’t stand [crescendo] Ravens overhead spin and cry As he walks that lonesome line [Chorus] [Outro] Black hat Black coat Hymn caught in his throat He moves on before the dawn knows his name
