The Mirror And The Ripper - Volbeat

[This song continues the story from the last record «Guitar Gangsters

&Cadillac Blood».

This is the second chapter out of 2 on this record.]

Found the morning liquor found the morning light

Looking into the rearview mirror the motherfuckers are all awaiting

Him down the line

Sick and tired of fighting, all the crap inside

Starting a new day, breathing in the morning

Got a feeling leaving something behind

He sees the lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely days

Left his car out in the desert forever more

He’s got another life now to explore

And forever you will hear the people talk

How they can hear his boots

Out in the cold

And the fallen will get down on his knees

And the fallen will get down on his knees

And forever the man in the coat

Will cast his shadow among those who know

The tale of the gangster who shot all his demons for good

Then along came the mirror and the ripper

What do you see in the night?

Passing shadows that can scar your soul and make you feel demonized

Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper

What do you have in your mind?

We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night

Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire

Have you asked yourself what it is that you see?

Well, is it Mr. Cadillac or you?

Walking among those who nearly found peace

Into the light, and out of the blue

And the fallen will get down on his knees

And the fallen will get down on his knees

And forever the man in the coat

Will cast his shadow among those who know

The tale of the gangster who shot all his demons for good

Then along came the mirror and the ripper

What do you see in the night?

Passing shadows that can scar your soul and make you feel demonized

Hear a match and see the lightning from the ripper

What do you have in your mind?

We believe that he comes for another wicked destiny night

Dazing in the dark the life line going cold in the fire

Look into his eyes you’ll meet a hundred angels cry

Face the mirror, you gonna seek another day

You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day

You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day

You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day

You gonna ohh

Going lonely home
