4
Take an eye for an eye
5
Take a tooth for a tooth
6
Just like they say in the Bible
7
Never leave a trace or forget a face
8
Of any man at the table
9
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
10
Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
11
He rides through your dreams on a coach
12
And horses and the fence posts
13
In the midnight look like bones
14
Well they've stopped trying to hold him
15
With mortar, stone and chain
16
He broke out of every prison
17
Boots mount the staircase
18
The door is flung back open
19
He's not there for he has risen
20
He's not there for he has risen
21
Well he once killed a man with a guitar string
22
He's been seen at the table with kings
23
Well he once saved a baby from drowning
24
There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
25
Some say they fear him
26
Others admire him
27
Because he steals his promise
28
One look in his eye
29
Everyone denies
30
Ever having met him
31
Ever having met him
32
He can turn himself into a stranger
33
Wel lthey broke a lot of canes on his hide
34
he was born away in a cornfield
35
A fever beats in his head like a drum inside
36
Some say they fear him
37
Others admire him
38
Because he steals his promise
39
One look in his eye
40
Everyone denies
41
Ever having met him
42
Ever having met him
