Le Pont Noir — текст песни (Voivod)

I`m going to the bridge tonight
Venus shines so ever bright
Deep in the woods under the stars
How did I come to get this far?
Have this feeling...what will I find
Around the corner of my mind?

A thousand trees of creeping sin
Dead leaves blowing in the wind
I`m whistling an old melody
To keep the beast away from me
I hear the call of croaking frogs
Answering me lost in the fog
I tell myself, everything`s fine
Here in these woods, for the first time

Uh, ohh!

Out in the dark, a shadow sound
Fear to look, but turn around
I realize I`m face to face
Two yellow eyes, an evil gaze
Ugly blood hound, no wagging tail
How long has he been on my trail?
Down to the bridge, he`s leading me
What is it he wants me to see?

Uh, ohh!

Already we`ve arrived, Here I am
There`s the bridge, Where`s the man, What a scam!
That story `bout the bridge isn`t true
I`m enjoying myself, what a view!

They say the bridge is not what it is

No one ever comes back...so they say
What could happen to me, anyway?
From away, a tall man comes to me...
Has he been here waiting...just for me?

He says there`s no more fishing in the lake
But one thing for sure...I`m the catch of the day!

This is what happens
When one looks for gold
Turn`d into gray stone
And down deep you are thrown!!

All this is over [X4]
