Django Songtext
von The Wages of Sin

In the summer's swelter, tossing in my sleep
A dark forbidding figure come to me in a dream
The sun a blaze of fury, it's rays came beating down
On the bleached-out bones of some nameless desert town

Not a dog is barking, not a baby cries
Nothing breaks the silence but the buzzing of the flies
Desperate broken figures, scattered all around
Blood flows like a river into the thirsty ground

A dark forbidding figure, his soul and body bound
Dragging his own coffin across the dusty ground
A dark forbidding figure, his soul and body bound
Dragging his own coffin across the dusty ground


The men they call for whiskey, to wash the pain away
Women fill the chapel, fall to their knees and pray
The whorehouse beds are empty, the hounds begin to howl
Thunder rips the sky and the rain begins to fall

My brothers how you've suffered,
Sisters how you've wept
Locked away your hopes and dreams
Your darkest secrets kept
Brothers how you've suffered,
Sisters how you've wept
Locked away your hopes and dreams
Your darkest secrets kept

One boot and then the other, Django walks the street
Pulls me over closer and whispers unto me
"Kings and popes and criminals, hearts both pure and black
Each has their own burden to carry on their back"


A dark forbidding figure, his soul and body bound
Dragging his own coffin across the muddy ground
A dark forbidding figure, his soul and body bound
Dragging his own coffin across the muddy ground
