The Vultures Circle High

[00:26.14] I sold my soul for pennies and gave blood for quarters
[00:28.77] I built it to an empire and locked all the borders
[00:32.27] I killed for faith and family, but never said I loved you
[00:35.60] We burned all that crossed us, it was more than a few
[00:39.93] They'll plant me pretty flowers and tell my tales of glory
[00:43.19] I'll see you down the road, like all those before me
[00:46.59] They'll hide in the hair of truth, I repay you on my journey
[00:49.87] Don't let these little facts ruin a good story
[00:54.13] Now plant me pretty flowers
[01:01.03] Plant me pretty little flowers
[01:09.44] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[01:12.77] In dust and dirt and worms, I'll sleep
[01:15.85] It's time for me, my darling, sweet
[01:19.19] Sweet angel now to say goodbye
[01:22.58] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[01:26.03] In peace and quiet, I'll finally sleep
[01:29.36] It's time for me to close these eyes
[01:32.80] And leave behind this world of lies
[01:36.77] Leave behind this world of lies
[01:46.38] As my legacy's concerned, I've dotted all my I's
[01:49.82] Crossed all my T's and severed all my ties
[01:53.57] The evidence is burned, the documents are shred
[01:56.70] It's to time to climb the stairs and perish here in bed
[02:00.85] So my enemies are many and the vultures circle high
[02:04.34] May the family all be spared as I shut my eyes to die
[02:07.66] When the lion finally rests, the pride will conspire
[02:11.08] Your best won't be enough when you're thrown to the fire
[02:15.18] Now plant me pretty flowers
[02:22.15] Plant me pretty little flowers
[02:30.48] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[02:33.58] In dust and dirt and worms, I'll sleep
[02:36.99] It's time for me, my darling, sweet
[02:40.24] Sweet angel now to say goodbye
[02:43.74] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[02:47.09] In peace and quiet, I'll finally sleep
[02:50.47] It's time for me to close these eyes
[02:53.93] And leave behind this world of lies
[02:57.78] Leave behind this world of lies
[03:14.43] Like all those before me who never stood a chance
[03:17.97] Demons and derelicts, we ran to the dance
[03:21.01] With a bullet in the chamber and a hand on the flame
[03:24.48] We were taught by the worst the rules of the game
[03:28.14] Nice guys are losers (we all know a few)
[03:31.17] Someone always comes in last and it better not be you
[03:34.66] So fight dirty, fight often, more chances to win
[03:38.01] Don't make excuses, to fail is a sin
[03:41.69] Don't make excuses, to fail is a sin
[03:44.83] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[03:47.92] In dust and dirt and worms, I'll sleep
[03:51.27] It's time for me, my darling, sweet
[03:54.72] Sweet angel now to say goodbye
[03:58.23] And lay me down, down six foot deep
[04:01.54] In peace and quiet, I'll finally sleep
[04:04.83] It's time for me to close these eyes
[04:08.29] And leave behind this world of lies
[04:12.19] Leave behind this world of lies
[04:15.49]
