Legendary Shack Shakers (The)
Agony Wagon
What evil star burns bright my old flameAnd wilted my rose of JerichoWhose glare killed the prayer last parted from her lipsAnd lit the path to churchyards untold?The pitter and the patter of her dance once whirled awayThe eve like a dream of youthful bloomBut now the iron clatter of my godforsaken woeEchoes ancient tones of shackled doomOh, I'll ride this agony wagonForever to heaven or to hellI'll ride this agony wagonMy bones are damned to roam these rusty railsRusty railsOh, I'll ride this agony wagonForever to heaven or to hellI'll ride this agony wagonMy bones are damned to roam these rusty railsRusty railsWhat unholy saint rakes the devil's lyreAnd dumbs the din of joy bells in my soulWho in silent gloom arrives snapping thicket underfootIn moonless mist to light my carriage coals?SongtexteSo into the shady dank of St. Jude's garden stairsEast of the sun and west of the moonWhere her secret crypt of nightshade is shut inside his mindLocked tighter than a toddler in a tombOh, I'll ride this agony wagonForever to heaven or to hellI'll ride this agony wagonMy bones are damned to roam these rusty railsRusty rails
