Monte Cristo Blues (Edmond Dantés)
Rattvisa
Original language: Auto detect[Verse 1:] I set sail on dreams, a lover’s embrace, But the winds of envy left me lost in disgrace. A dagger of lies cut my future away, And the sea became my grave, where hope would decay. [Pre-Chorus:] Down in the darkness, where the cold whispers creep, They buried my heart, but it refused to sleep. [Chorus:] I’ve got the Monte Cristo blues, Rising like a phoenix from the prison’s cruel hues. Betrayed, but reborn, with the vengeance I choose, I am the storm—the Count pays his dues. [Verse 2:] A soul cast adrift, torn by sorrow’s tide, But the Abbé’s hand pulled me back to the fight. He spoke of the treasure, of justice untamed, A weapon forged in fire to reclaim my name. [Pre-Chorus:] Gold in my veins, but a shadow in my soul, The weight of revenge is a story untold. [Chorus:] I’ve got the Monte Cristo blues, The devil’s my ally, and his whispers my muse. Fortune is power, but the past still pursues, I am the reckoning—they cannot refuse. [Bridge:] Mercédès, oh Mercédès, do you know my face? The boy you once loved now walks a darker place. Fernand, Danglars, Villefort—hear the echoes of your sin, The Count stands before you, and the end begins. [Verse 3:] I am vengeance, I am fate’s cruel hand, A ghost in the halls of the lives I’ve unmanned. But with every blow, with every plan, I feel the weight of the man I once began. [Pre-Chorus:] Am I a savior, or the villain I’ve made? Can the fire of revenge ever truly fade? [Chorus:] I’ve got the Monte Cristo blues, Built my throne on ruins and the tears I’ve accrued. A storm of justice, but my heart pays the dues, I am the legend—but what did I lose? [Outro:] When the curtain falls and the debt’s repaid, Will the Count of Monte Cristo find peace in the shade? Or will the blues linger, as deep as the sea, A man unchained, but never truly free?
