Black clouds haunt me.White lightning drives me.
Still you ask for my head? Don't you know your gods are dead?
Do you see that draggin' over the hill? That's me and my flaming wheels.
I'm coming at you at godspeed, and I'm dragging the devil with me.
I'll trample you under my hooves. The hounds will have the rest of you. And when I sit and drink your wine, I'll think of our good times.
Do you see that draggin' over the hill? That's me and my flaming wheels.
I'm coming at you at godspeed, and I'm dragging the devil with me.

One step closer and my feet slither south. I can barely stand upright, or hide this dagger in my mouth.
You must've been so pleased that you finally found me - there I was: under a carpet, avoiding the views of the prophet. All my friends call me legion, I'm a collection of lesions. Go on and take my hand. I'll make you a god where you stand.
One step closer and my feet slither south. I can barely stand upright, or hide this dagger in my mouth.
Look at you now: just a cadaver. Pieces of bones that don't matter. I could make you so much more. We could be the stuff of lore.
One step forward. Both feet in the grave. Two steps backward, into a den of snakes.
One step forward and my feet slither south. I can barely stand upright, or hide this dagger in my mouth.

Kill it. Like you mean it. Off with it's head.
Make it bleed. Don't lose speed. Make sure it's dead.
Drive off to Hades in the dead of night, swinging your sword, holding your fists high.
Pull back the queen, take her to her home. Then the holy plants will grow.
Twelve horses rumbling, blowing holy smoke, pulled me away before Hades awoke.
Oh I bet you didn't even see me. You must be blind. I stole your queen away. Left only smoke behind.
"I'll have my dagger in you before the winter comes. I'll twist it around like the gorgon's tongue.
I'll have your horses tear you apart, but I'll keep your heart."
Silver tongue priestess don't waste your time. I'll be leaving come autumn time.
Twelve horses rumbling, blowing holy smoke, pulled me away before you awoke.

Honey in a lion corpse

I got a crooked smile because of my motormouth. I got this knife in my lungs because I speak when I want.
And I don't mind. I picked my noose to fit my suit. No I don't mind.
I got this blackened eye because I refuse to crawl. I got these holes in my hands from being nailed to a wall.
And I don't mind. I've picked my coffin, colour and all. No I don't mind.
No, I don't mind.

I wear my heart, proud, like a crown. Pay no attention to the Devil and his gun. He's gonna shoot me down.
And I can't promise that I won't leave you, 'cause I don't know where this horse leads me to - might be the devil, might be the sea. Forget about me.
And if I don't make it to the pasture: let me die here, carry me no further.
If my shade of blue no longer suits you: put me in the ground, I'll make no sound.
Forget about me.

This was a sword above my head - tryin' to figure out what dead men said. Black hole eyes, my shoulders tremblin' - there's not a drug that ain't worth taking.
Heavy axe with casket weight. When it swings embrace your fate. If I struggle just don't fight - tie up my hands, make sure they're tight.
TOMAHAWK INCOMING
Don't make me part of your totem yet. 'Cause I haven't left.
Have they got their knives in for me? Can't talk now, they might be listening. Do you see that hole in the ceiling? That's where they're letting the devils in.
Son, could you take these chains off me? Son, are you even listening? Son, why have you forsaken me? Son, could you please just pray for me?
TOMAHAWK INCOMING
Don't make me part of your totem yet. 'Cause I haven't left.
