Good, have I done good?
I fell on command
Give me my first and last medal
Observed in ritual behind the door
A heavy ivory white door
Where I've come off my hinges
Fire underground, I murdered a sentry there
Without wanting to
Wasn't nothing else to do
Saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak
Saw officers shot from their saddles
Through driving snow and through black smoke
With a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves
Eyes rolled back in their heads
The blank blessed eyesight of the dead
Entire battalions snuffed like a spark
Beat like a heart
Drowned by an ocean
Don't tell me the ending of the play
Don't make me look
Look in the mirror
I fell on command
Give me my first and last medal
Observed in ritual behind the door
A heavy ivory white door
Where I've come off my hinges
Fire underground, I murdered a sentry there
Without wanting to
Wasn't nothing else to do
Saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak
Saw officers shot from their saddles
Through driving snow and through black smoke
With a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves
Eyes rolled back in their heads
The blank blessed eyesight of the dead
Entire battalions snuffed like a spark
Beat like a heart
Drowned by an ocean
Don't tell me the ending of the play
Don't make me look
Look in the mirror
Sembra proprio che abbiamo perso la voce più profonda del rock.

Che terribile senso di vuoto... Non so voi, ma il mio scaffale musicale è popolato più da morti che da vivi.

Album: Black Pudding - Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood
Garwood/Lanegan
Un triste assolo di uno strumento a fiato, un sassofono o una tromba, suona in sottofondo un tributo al soldato morto. Insomma uno dei pezzi più commoventi dell'album, una canzone che sembra influenzata dall'album monotematico di PJ Harvey Let England Shake.
