Mystery (1994) - Jackson C. Frank

Lacy golden promises

You made while I was young

Later briars and brambles

Set me on the run

Just the sound in the dust

Dry boots led me on

To the place where unknown serpents

Curled and fled the dawn

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery

Why do you treat me so

To raise another devil

And with the devil go

Down with your false rebellion

Shaking through the trees

From wooden horse to hellion

To bring us to our knees

Red wind burning full tonight

Says you love us so

You have caused the time to pass

You’re even in the snow

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery

How can you treat me so

Raise another devil

And with the devil go

With the devil go

I’ve been sorting out a plan

To leave you far behind

I’m certain that the cause of it

Isn’t always kind

You’re a blank for filling in

I give you nothing more

Mystery in the shadows

Standing by the door

Ah, mystery, Oh mystery

How can you treat me so

To raise another devil

And with the devil go

With the devil go
