Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Stackerlee losin' money
And he throwed the cards away
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gon' take yo' life"
Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day

Knowledge of the infinite 
Even if you got it just a little bit 
Soon as you feel the ground start shaking 
All your sleeping doubts start waking 
Baby cries through the concrete 
Genocide, lost the breath of life under God's feet 
Genocide of the angels 
Even murdered instruments, trumpets, banjos 
But I still hear singing 
Mixed between the crying 
Sirens ringing 
Buried my whole tribe 
I'm crying, thinking 
Rescue us from Zion 
God ain't blinking 
Bodies, how they pile on 
Clock ain't ticking 
On face had a smile on 
Plot just thickened 
Courage of a lion, nine-life kitten 
Wandering through iron bars, once prison 

Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life"
 
Ils comprennent rien les soumis, les idiots, les vulgaires 
À la tristesse de l'Éden, aux clartés de l'Enfer 
Il faut goûter son sang car le sang est esprit 
On suicide un silence en accouchant d'un cri 
J'habite un désastre sous la colère des Dieux 
Où le monde doit s'éteindre pour qu'on ouvre les yeux 
Et le vin à la bouche, et le coeur sous le pieu 
On fera vœu de renaître de quelques cendres de feu 
J'effeuille les corolles de ce qu'on veut de la vie 
Un peu de vent sur la peau, les caresses d'une fille 
S'envolaient tout là-haut pour gratter l'équinoxe 
Être un arbre écrivain en s'écorchant l'écorce 
Mais tout ça s'est cassé en un éclair, coincé 
Sous une chape de béton armé 
Mes enfants, le solstice c'est dans longtemps 
Mais longtemps c'est maintenant 

Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life" (solstice)
Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life"
Now Stackerlee (now Stackerlee, now Stackerlee)
