lyrics

You come up to me and ask me my name
And I simply reply with a grin
A friend of a friend told you this is where I hang
If you want your new life to begin

You break out some twenties but it’s never about the money
It’s all about what you want to attain
I’m the weaver of dreams and breaker of souls
If you want to start over again

Chorus
I’ll tell you what I told the others before
I ain’t afraid of your God
Tell me what you want
And I’ll show you what I got
But it don’t come for free in the end

I’ve made people kings, created fortunes and dreams
I’ve brought back love from the dead
I’ve plotted revenge and crippled good friends
For the love of a girl that had been

So tell me young man what is it that’s so bad
That you come to seek out my kind
When you’ve made some mistakes from beginning to end
I am never that hard to find

I’ll tell you what I told the others before
I ain’t afraid of your God
Tell me what you want
And I’ll show you what I got
But it don’t come for free in the end

It’s time now to deal, a promise we will seal
With a handshake, a little blood in the rain
But before we begin he just backs away
He ain’t ready to give up his pain

I bid him ado, cause I knew were not through
He’ll be back this way once again
Cuz I’m the maker of kings, fortunes and dreams
And I can bring back people from the dead

So tell me what all your wishing for.
Cuz I ain’t afraid of your God
Tell me what you want
And I’ll show you what I got
But it don’t come for free in the end
