The Fiddler ft. Eric Holland |
LyricsThe Fiddler© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst Upon his grave the devil danced the demon chewed his cud The monster of the everglades could not wash off the mud Though he tried to hide his resume one thing was clear within Embarrassment of underbelly evil born of sin (chorus) The monster was a fiddler and for that he paid the price Perceived as hate incarnate with a penchant that aint right They'll be no room in heaven where disgust can't be allowed The monster was a fiddler who has taken his final bow (instrumental interlude) A cold gray slab now marks his grave No mourners hang around A carefully worded epitaph Is written on the ground (chorus) The monster was a fiddler and for that he paid the price Perceived as hate incarnate with a penchant that aint right They'll be no room in heaven where disgust can't be allowed The monster was a fiddler who has taken his final bow The oddest thing of all that's true the worst of all mankind The monocle worn on his head was just sins of the mind But still the same he bore the shame as if the deed were done The days of proven innocence ignore his trial of one (chorus) The monster was a fiddler and for that he paid the price Perceived as hate incarnate with a penchant that aint right They'll be no room in heaven where disgust can't be allowed The monster was a fiddler who has taken his final bow |
