In the minute of the old dyin' sun
When the dark is just a kiss away
Take the soul take the heart and the blood
Out of you and now your life just fades away
Temptation was your only goal yeah
You always walked on the left hand path
Now it's time to pay all of your dues
Gonna sing for you the blues of your last day
Fear the power!
Down in me there burns the fire of thousand tears of thousand years
And now I know... that you feel it, I can see, you're full of hate I dominate
And now you're going to die!
In the heat of a black southern night
When the old man river cries its song
Ghost and shadow of the past will guide
You're out of this world and so far beyond time
Fear the power!
When the dark is just a kiss away
Take the soul take the heart and the blood
Out of you and now your life just fades away
Temptation was your only goal yeah
You always walked on the left hand path
Now it's time to pay all of your dues
Gonna sing for you the blues of your last day
Fear the power!
Down in me there burns the fire of thousand tears of thousand years
And now I know... that you feel it, I can see, you're full of hate I dominate
And now you're going to die!
In the heat of a black southern night
When the old man river cries its song
Ghost and shadow of the past will guide
You're out of this world and so far beyond time
Fear the power!
