I heard the devil, he called my fucking name
Out from the bottle amidst the open flame
I heard the cries of every beggar told
One mans trash can be another mans gold
Running out of steam on borrowed time
Call out a name and I'll put a price on it
Pay the debts, clear the slate
You can always count on me
I heard the beggar and he called my name
Out from the bottle amidst the open flame
I heard a whisper of the Devils crash
One mans gold is another mans trash
I'm making holes in another mans shoes
Call out a name and I'll put a price on it
Pay the debts, clear the slate
You can always count on me
We've all been decaying
Past the point of recognition
there's still some fight in us yet
What's a little shit amongst the flies?
Is this really where the hero dies?
Did I hear the blaspheme in your cries
I know I'll get my due,
Give me a sign
I know I'll get my due, if I've anything left
Give me a sign , just anything please
Even at my best, I'm second
Call out my name and he'll put a price on it
Clear my slate, collect the debt
Give me a face to forget
We'd sooner drown in these waters,
With all our sins and our daughters
We've all been fooled, it's scripted from the start
unaware we've all played our part (and we played them well)
If I'm alone, then I'm alone and alone I shall be
Forever a wanted man
Excuse my broken lung
Cough up the morning sun
A failure from the start
Ruined the work of art
Now that I've said my piece
Declared a war on peace
The jury has been hung
Oh it's been hung out to dry
