Key of Zed released a new single entitled “Silver Bullet.” It is about the state of our world and how we need one silver bullet to solve all of the world’s problems. Is there a silver bullet? What if we already have it? Do we want the Silver Bullet?
You can hear the song here while you read the lyrics. Watch for this song to be released on the upcoming album, “Departures.”
Silver Bullet
(Words and Music by Mike Charko and Keith Shields – SOCAN 2021)
Look at this world, who could deny
We need deliverance from these lies
For surely, no one wants to die
And I’m not sure we even know why
This world is tilted off of true
We’ve given the devil all his due
Yet still the demons cry the blues
Every year the debt accrues
Trigger cocked and barrel aimed
Acting like it’s just a game
Finger now is ready to pull it
What to do with one silver bullet?
Who made me judge and jury?
Why the eyes that look with fury?
I’ve been to hell and back again
And never seen the likes of them
They say they’re righteous, they know not why
It’s just their turn we hear them sigh
And all around them dust dost fly
While those without tears can only cry
Trigger cocked and barrel aimed
Acting like it’s just a game
Finger now is ready to pull it
Where to shoot this silver bullet?
Bridge:
What if we already have it,
Do we want all this havoc?
More than the Silver Bullet?
Have we got the Silver Bullet?
If we could find our Cyrus
The one who says he’s come to guide us
Messiah clear or just a pilot
Sure he’s not our Pontius Pilate
There has to be a better spirit
To find a way not to kill it
Drink the blood but never spill it
Lord give us one silver bullet
Trigger cocked and barrel aimed
Acting like it’s all a game
Finger now is ready to pull it
What to do? – Silver Bullet?
