Black Wings - Tom Waits ----------------------- tikkuria at yahoo dot com Bm Bsus4 Take an eye for an eye Bm Bsus4 Take a tooth for a tooth Just like they say in the Bible Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Never leave a trace or forget a face Of any man at the table of any man at the table Em Bm Bsus4 When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger Em Bm Bsus4 sharp enough to draw blood from a stone he rides through your dreams on a coach Bm Bsus4 Em and horses and the fence posts in the midnight look like bones Well they’ve stopped trying to hold him with mortar stone and chain He broke out of every prison Boots mount the staircase The door is flung back open He’s not there for he has risen He’s not there for he has risen Well he once killed a man with a guitar string He’s been seen at the table with kings Well he once saved a baby from drowning There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him He can turn himself into a stranger well they broke a lot of canes on his hide He was born away in a cornfield A fever beats in his head like a drum inside Some say they fear him Others admire him because he steals his promise One look in his eye everyone denies ever having met him ever having met him (repeat till end)

La chanson évoque des thèmes de vengeance et de mystère, évoquant une figure presque mythique qui se déplace entre le bien et le mal. Elle parle d'un homme énigmatique qui semble avoir un passé lourd, mêlant violence et rédemption, capable de transcender la mort, tout en étant craint et admiré par ceux qui l'entourent. Le texte évoque aussi des images fortes, comme celle de la lune comme un poignard et d’un homme qui flotte dans les rêves, renforçant ainsi son caractère troublant. Le contexte de la chanson est riche, touchant à des éléments de folklore et de références bibliques, évoquant une vision du monde où le renom et la peur se côtoient. Cette dualité dans la perception de cet homme souligne les complexités de la nature humaine et des choix moraux que nous avons à faire face.
