- Burns
Remember back when you were just a little kid?
You were so scared of the dark, lying in your crib,
Waiting for Mama to turn on the light, but she never did.
Remember back when you would watch those stars?
They seemed so bright and they seemed so far.
But you knew, one day, they'd be falling around you.
Now today they are.
- Don't Be Afraid, It's Only Death
Just beyond that wide river Styx
Is a place where sick men like me get our kicks;
It's a waiting room like you've never seen before,
With a twenty-five piece band and a ten thousand square foot ballroom floor.
Oh, there's a lady all dressed in red,
All gussied up with a bullet in her head.
Looks like she could use a drink,
- Forsake The Boy
I play my cards close to my chest,
Keep a Baretta in my boot.
And if you're comin' here to test me, dear,
Please don't think that I won't shoot.
'Cause I know your kind, I've seen your eyes,
All emeralds and mud.
And what you give, it don't come free,
You take it out in blood.
