Oh, I hear you calling
You're crying like a crow
But down and down I'm falling
The end you'll never know
Behold the maiden pale
Dressed only in her sin
With ash-like skin and cinder eyes
A fury from within
Oh, brother behold the betrayer
The prize of his mortal soul
To lie and cheat and steal and kill
For promise of silver and gold
Now lament your wasted labour
For when your time is through
With all your silver and gold
Will your shadow be taller than you
Oh, brother behold the betrayer
The prize of his mortal soul
To lie and cheat and steal and kill
For promise of silver and gold
See how they got you
On your knees again
Here when it's all over
You're still fighting to pretend
