LYRICS

Riders on the sun,
We never stopped for anyone
And so I understand that my Hangman’s come
Oooh oh Lord, I know that I’ve done wrong
So’s I walk to the gallows, Imma sing this song

When My Hangman Come
When My Hangman Come
Imma
Imma sing this song
When My Hangman Come
When My Hangman Come
Imma walk to the gallows with my head held high
And imma sing this song

(Solo)

Imma sing this song

Oh mother,
Oh I know that I done wrong
But when you see me hangin’ there
Remember I’m still your son
Oh I can hear the crowd baying
Oh they’re begging for blood
So as I
Walk hummin this song
Imma dredge my feet through the mud

When My Hangman Come
When My Hangman Come
Imma pay my dues
When My Hangman Come

When My Hangman Come
When My Hangman Come
When My Hangman Come

HANGMAN

Take me by the hand
And tell me that you love me.
Tell me that I’m your man 
And that you’ll never leave me.
Tell me that you want me,
Then cast me to the ground.
Tell me that you need me
And stab me when I turn around.

You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!
You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!
You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!

Take me by the hand
And lead me to the gates.
Tell me that I’m a coward,
Because I won’t wait.
Oh you leave me
In a pool of my own blood.
Darlin’ I ain’t against a little pain,
But you’re makin’ my skull numb yeah!

You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!
You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!
You’ve got me in your vice grip baby yeah!

(Moans of despair, damnation and misery)

Oh baby let me go! Oh baby let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, don’t wanna go down
Don’t Drag Me To Hell!

Oh baby let me go! Oh baby let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, I don’t wanna go down
Don’t Drag Me To Hell!

Oh baby let me go! Oh mama let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, I don’t wanna go down
Don’t Drag Me To Hell!

Oh baby let me go! Oh mama let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, I don’t wanna go down
You’re draggin me down!

Oh mama let me go! Oh mama let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, I don’t wanna go down
Don’t Drag Me down To Hell!

Oh mama let me go! Oh darlin let me go!
Oh honey I don’t wanna go down, I don’t wanna go down
Don’t Drag Me Down To Hell

VAN TASTIK Unveils Debut Album "Church of The Fallen Reverend": A Genre-Defying Musical Journey for Halloween Weekend

Experience the "Dark Delta Rock" of VAN TASTIK this Halloween as they unleash their debut album "Church of The Fallen Reverend," an audacious blend of Punk Blues, Blues Rock, Gothic Gospel and Dark Country.

A dynamic performer known for their electrifying stage presence, is set to unleash their debut album "Church of The Fallen Reverend" this October, auspiciously coinciding with the Halloween weekend.

"Church of The Fallen Reverend" showcases VAN TASTIK's commanding gospel-style vocals, primeval mastery of guitar and unconventional instrumentation. It weaves a sonic tapestry that encompasses the vigour and bravado of Rock, Punk, Blues and Trash, with the distressed and enigmatic vintage touch of Southern Gothic. To create a genre they’ve dubbed “Dark Delta Rock”.

The album delves into profound themes, inviting listeners on a journey through the mysteries of life, death and the human experience.

Amidst the Darkness they passionately preach about, VAN TASTIK shines like a black sun, infusing their music with a magnetic energy that captivates and inspires like the traveling preachers of old they jump into the crowds to seek that complicity with audiences that so eludes so many.

This release is more than an album; it's an artistic manifesto that redefines music. As the world reawakens from its Covid Slumber, VAN TASTIK's debut album is a beacon of unapologetic creativity and honesty inviting all folks to join The Fallen Reverend’s travellin' Church.
Join us in celebrating the album's release this Halloween weekend.

LYRICS:
See my house, see my garden. 
I ain’t no man with money.
See my hands, feel my strain. 
I ain’t no man with money.
Hear my words, paint you a story. 
One where I ain’t got no money.
See my pain, watch me work. 
I ain’t no man with money.

And she said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! 
Woah-oh! It don’t matter no!
No, no, no, no, no! I ain’t here for your dough!
You make me happy, you make me happy yeah!
You make me happy, and what you mean to me! 

Fancy clothes, oh fancy rings. 
I ain’t no man with money.
Been handed down, all of my things. 
‘Cause I ain’t got no money
Look at my friends, look at my family. 
Well lord we ain’t got no money.
Worn out face, too tired to see. 
‘Cause we ain’t got no money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! 
No, no, it don’t matter though!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
He said, you don’t need no money no!
You don’t know what I - what I’ve been through!
Take my hand and I - I will show you!

(Solo)

Come with me, you will see 
Oh a place with no money
Oh we ain’t got no money, happiness is free.
Lord you don’t need no money!

And he said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Lemme show you what I can do son.
You don’t need no money; that much is true.

You. Don’t. Need. Money. To. Make. You. Happy. No.

Ain't No Man With Money

“Fancy clothes, fancy rings. I ain’t no man with money. Been handed down, all of my things, ‘cause I ain’t got no money.”
