lyrics

Sweet Chevalier
My Gilles de Rais
My bloody butcher boy
My right-hand man
My one-man band
My faithful friend
My holy angel toy

You never heard the bells, the bells
But loved the blood they promised you
The scrape of blade to bone to blade
You said they played a music too

Sweet Chevalier
I went away
You dreamed that night of flame
And every night
And every day
You prayed one word
You prayed upon my name

You always wanted much, too much
You touched the things
you thought were pure
That tender flesh, that cinder fresh
Their ashes only stained you more

Sweet Chevalier
They'll hunt you down
They'll hound you right into the ground
(Where you belong)
Chevalier, they'll hang you up
They'll hang you high
And I won't say they're wrong

Sweet Chevalier
My Gilles de Rais
I'll come to you, my friend
Listen, don't you hear
The bells so clear
So never fear
We'll never fall again

Tales To Be Told

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati

Stolen Season
by S. J. Tucker

supported by 5 fans who also own “Chevalier”

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
