lyrics

Our mother tried her best to raise us true, and our father split and all he left were shoes, and some excuse, “I’m hitting the road with Lady Loose.”

So we played with rattler’s nests instead of cards, cause the Devil’s picture book was in our hearts, we played the part, of the Joker and all the trouble that he starts.

Our enemies are deep down in the snow. So no one can know, how many lives we stole. These ropes are thick as thieves around our throats, Sworn as Brothers Born, and as Brothers we will go.
(As the light fades from our eyes the wind will blow)

And looks like all these notes we hit were wrong, maybe one day we will finally sing along, we’re not countin on, one blink and all the time we had is gone.

We wanted all the Glory not the Pause, we cut off all the fingers that were crossed, and took what we took, and if they fought us then we’d hang em’ on a hook.

Looks like these Heads, are gonna Roll.
