"If I made a deal with God....?" I am the Duke of sadness Traveling from town to town A bleak and travel weary soul In solitude I stand my ground If you follow my bloodline There are days of greed without no end I dine with Lords and barristers But no one I can call my friend In all this painful agonizing There's yet another black moon rising It's gonna bring you down, bring you down! I am the Duke of shadows In a carriage across the barren land I'm in the court of wayward souls With no hope to see home again In all this painful agonizing There's yet another black moon rising It's gonna bring you down, bring you down! I am the Duke of madness A kingdom "selling by the pound" I dance a dark and dreary road As King of Grief, I'd claim my crown In all this painful agonizing now! Now just be careful what you wish for in the darkness, there are fish And if the bait is right, they bite! (I've got) No house with towers - big and bold No raging battle of my soul I can't stop walking the shadows Cold is my heart - Bone and marrow! I'm just the frog you wouldn't kiss A toad left dying in a ditch A sad nocturnal form of life (I've got) No house with towers - big and bold No raging battle of my soul I can't stop walking the shadows Cold is my heart - Bone and marrow! If I made a deal with God If I made a deal with the devil Will someone save me from the flood? How will I know when I'm ripe and ready? If in footprints of an angel, walk with hope... I am the Duke of sadness Traveling from town to town A bleak and travel weary soul In solitude I stand my ground I am the voiceless vicar It feels as if I've lost my faith The days drift by like tumbleweed I struggle to kneel down and pray In all this painful agonizing There's yet another black moon rising It's gonna bring you down, bring you down!
