BLACK DOG/WHITE HORSE Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brother, heave the oar Don't mind the sound of war There's something worth searching for And I need you, oh, I need you My heart's a hollow town The leaves are turning brown There's a hard rule coming down And I'll see you, oh, I'll see you [Chorus] He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round again A black dog, atop a white horse Followed by the serpent and the wren All is holy, all is holy They sanctify the gold, but not the tin No mirror of mercy My pills make me thirsty The shape of my intention Is not the shape that I'm in [Verse 2] Oh, death, I see you there With your white cotton stare I'll meet you in the city air And I'll feed you, oh, I'll feed you Doom songs fill the sky Why do sad people lie? There's a script lit inside your eye And I'll read you, oh, I'll read you [Chorus] He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round again A black dog, atop a white horse Followed by the serpent and the wren All is holy, all is holy They sanctify the gold, but not the tin No mirror of mercy My pills make me thirsty The shape of my intention Is not the shape that I'm in [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round He'll be coming 'round again A black dog, atop a white horse Followed by the serpent and the wren All is holy, all is holy They sanctify the gold, but not the tin No mirror of mercy My pills make me thirsty The shape of my intention Is not the shape that I'm in
