Текст песни Black Candles (Chip the Black Boy) с переводом

Black candles melt on the mantle

Illuminating gloom awaiting doom under an anvil

A standstill

There are stains on my hands still

Under light of the flickering flames

I gaze entranced at the dripping remains

I’ve done deeds, I’ve undone

I’m loosening screws concealing clues underneath

I wrap things in sheets

In chains

I’ve changed lanes and switched pathways to remain free from blame

I don’t question the source of these voices

Their commands leave me with no choices

Who can deny a decree from the sky, but a fool?

I’m a dummy but no fool am I

And though I may pay one day for what I’ve done

I don’t stray from what they say until the day comes

I hold my tongue, cross my t’s, play dumb

And never leave a victim where my hat is hung

I ride upon a miniature stallion, no saddle

In my satchel a voodoo rattle

A bottle of new ties, a bat wing, a little red book

And a bundle of little heads

In my state I best remain steadfast along my course

Or instead end up dead last

Racing my shadow but I’m weary

Begging mercy from the gods but I fear they cannot hear me

I only travel at night under the moon glow

Quiet but inside of my head a bassoon blows

What is that?

It’s nothing, it’s a puppet! It’s not real!
