Silver Bullet lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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
