LETTER

from WARLOCK ENEMY by DUFFHUES

/

about

The recurring and sinister letter in many blues songs. This time from the Devil himself, who has come to claim the soul.

lyrics

The letter


I got a letter this morning
the sun was blood red
I got a letter this morning
the sun was blood red
The words dripped off the page
like liquid black death

There was a story
without meaning or words
There was a story
without meaning or words
The writer was in there
hidden like a curse

Send me to hell
burn the sign on my back
Send me to hell
burn the sign on my back
My feet, they're on fire
and I'm at the bridges edge

The dark cold water
that takes my breath
The dark cold water
that steals my breath
I see the face of the devil
and it's boiling red

Death stays away
after the air is gone
Death stays away
after life is done
And I can hear myself think
that's double bad luck

The water streams
the sound of my voice
The water streams
the sound of my voice
It's echoing through the canals
he now owns my soul
