The grave
Verse 1
Click click boom went the shots to my head
No time to rethink what i did, what i said
And before the blink of an eye
i'm floating above in a sunlit sky
watching them lower my body in the ground
i fell a thousand feet with a horrible sound
knelling before the devil's dark throne
knowning i was very far from alone
Chorus repeated twice
Welcome to the end, welcome to the grave
this is where you'll be my slave
welcome to the pit, welcome to hell
this is how it was when the angels fell
verse 2
he spoke to me in a menacing voice
as he told me hell was my only choice
i stood up to him in pure defiance
calling out to god for a final chance
there is no hope for that foolish boy
he said to me with a tone that was coy
you lived your life in the darkest way
they told you before that sinners will pay
chorus twice
verse 3
wait a fuckin minute this can not be
did enough good for the world to see
yes you can talk, but you can not fight
yes you can run, but you can not hide
they are all around yes all the time
for your every triumph and every crime
this is the way the world has always worked
sinners making saints go fucking berserk
chorus twice
verse 4
there's still a chance to save my soul
rise up from the flames and out this hole
you can not win until my spirit's crushed
my will is broke and i lose all my trust
i raise my voice and hands to the sky
i know i'm better than this let me try
i cant undo what's been done before
but i'm far from rotten to the core
chorus twice
verse 5
and with that the ground gave away
flames died down and god began to say
i saw how you lived as you went astray
but in your final hour you regained your way
stepping in front of bullets takin 2 in the head
so without you those kids would have been dead
go now and make the most of this second chance
be sure to never give this place a second glance
chorus twice
