about

A dark story of revenge. Disturbing visions describe the stuff of nightmares and touches on the stories we hope we never encounter. Sleep well!

lyrics

Black hat, silver pin - pay the piper cos he's riding in.
Black hat, silver pin - the time has come to purge the sin.
Blue eyes, pretty face, scarlet woman dressed in lace.
Scratchin' at my sorrow with the man who'd be mine,
It was all over in easy time.

Black hat, silver pin - The Devil's riding shotgun and he's gonna win.
Black hat, silver pin - don't let him catch you, never let him in.
He had a love who lived in his dreams, catchin' kisses in a paper bag.
Chains of daisies held her in the night, he never, ever, let her see the light.

Black hat, silver pin - sitting by the cellar door waiting to go in.
Black hat, silver pin - time to let the wheel of fortune spin.
Winds blow dust of souls, breathe it in, make them whole.
Seeds of pearls, grow them strong. Don't listen to The Devil's song.

Black hat, silver pin - watch him as he's riding away.
Black hat, silver pin - dancing light brings in the day.
Turn the soil, dig it deep, plant the scarlet caps of lace - let them sleep.
Feel the silver in your hand. Wear the hat with the daisy chain band.

Black hat, silver pin - souls are playing violins.
Black hat, silver pin - hush little darlin', listen to them sing.
