Howlin Rain - El Rey lyrics

Did you fall in love with the cannon's fire? And the smell of a smoldering world In the bloody sand where lead flies like insects through the air This is just a moment of confusion, birds like a lattice to the sun You calculate the simple execution by the silent run Of the numbers in our blood You don't have to go through any more changes, it's all done now You don't have to break the wild horses that run you and run you down You don't have to untangle the bells that jingle and chime and charm you You don't have to change, you don't have to hold onto your past You don't have to carry it down this path, it's all part of the deal In the pitch of the night is a stranger, strange as the shadow by your side It calls to your mind a face you haven't called upon for years Once you were a magnificent fiend, eyes like electric eels An executioner of the highest degree Here you are family sweet torturer in the arms of the secret world A piano plays to the vague erosion of the day You don't have to go through any more changes, it's all done now You don't have to break the wild horses that run you and run you down You don't have to untangle the bells that jingle and chime and charm you You don't have to change, you don't have to hold onto your past You don't have to carry it down this path, it's all part of the deal
