lyrics
i’m blood-soaked and i’m short of breath. there’s a tin star gonna lead me to my death. a worn rope cuts into my neck. in the midst of all the death i’ve known, i somehow always knew that i’d die alone. but even as the vultures hungrily tear flesh from my bones, i feel my face pointing home. the beatings have broken my legs and i deserve them. the blood drips from my mouth. i can’t pay for my sins, can’t erase the violence in my soul. in the midst of all the death i’ve known, i somehow always knew that i’d die alone. but even as the vultures hungrily tear flesh from my bones, i feel my face pointing home. die with a noose around my neck. die with a bullet in my chest. with my name in your book. die with a seal upon my heart. you won’t die in a prison cell. we are just men and our justice serves us well. we won’t rest till your spirit burns in hell. and now this life is at its end. a chance to see real life begin. and so despite the kind of man i’ve been, i won’t have to be alone again.
