lyrics

daniel held their mouths closed so he could pray
a quiet night before his judgement day
there's a cancer in my lung, i cough it up and burn it all
until god says, "my son, that's enough."

you couldn't pay me to hang up my boots
no, i've read it all, all of the words inside this book
so if there's someone out there, well i'm gonna shout it
i don't care if they didn't ask about it

can you see the snake in your garden?
your city's burning to the ground in your sleep
come on, take this song and guard it
so when the silence comes you'll have something to sing

so look for me in the lion's den
that's where i've been, held up with a pack of cigarettes
and i've been bathing in blood to wash away my sins
while in she slipped with whiskey on her breath

close your eyes so you don't see your father
light a match to the alter and give yourself up
like a lamb to the slaughter where it's sweet like wine
