The Duke of Sadness Songtext
von Agents of Mercy

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!
