A DEADMANS’ BALLAD

(By Kyle Thompson)

I GOT ONE THING TO SAY…
BEFORE I PASS AWAY…
AND THE DARKNESS SWALLOWS ME WHOLE.

TO ALL OF YOU…
LIVING LIKE YOU DO…
BETTER LISTEN TO THAT CHURCH BELL TOLL.

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS MOMENT
WOULD COME SO SOON…
YOU BETTER BRUSH SOME BLOOD UPON YOUR DOOR.

AND LOOK NO FURTHER…
THAN WHERE I LAY TODAY…
JUST REMEMBER WHAT YOUR LIVIN FOR!

CAUSE NOTHIN’ IS WORTH THE PRICE OF YOUR SOUL…
NOT THE MONEY YOU EARNED…
AND NOT THE MONEY YOU STOLE…

THERE’S NOT A GOD DAMNED THING
THAT’S WORTH THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY…
WHEN THEY LAY YOU DOWN FOREVER…
FOREVER IN YOUR GRAVE.

I’VE GOT ONE THING TO SAY…
BEFORE THEY CARRY ME AWAY…
AND THEY PUT ME IN THE EARTH FOREVER MORE…

LOOK NO FURTHER…
THAN WHERE I LAY TODAY…
THERE’S A LESSON TO BE LEARNED FOR SURE.

CAUSE NOTHIN’ IS WORTH THE PRICE OF YOUR SOUL…
NOT THE MONEY YOU EARNED…
AND NOT THE MONEY YOU STOLE…

THERE’S NOT A GOD DAMNED THING
THAT’S WORTH THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY…
WHEN THEY LAY YOU DOWN FOREVER…
FOREVER IN YOUR GRAVE

FOREVER IN THE GRAVE
WHEN THEY LAY YOU DOWN FOREVER…
FOREVER IN THE GRAVE

GONNA LAY YOU DOWN FOREVER…
