Rotten body swinging from a tree

Gunshot wound cleaned in a salt-filled sea

Cut throat dead on a blood red sun

In the right hand of God...is a gun

Full moon overhead

A good night to bury your dead

Your body aches as the night closes in

Waves crash down, there’s death in the wind

Stagnant water in your veins

A gunshot ends your pain

Lifeless men in the riverbed

Stagnant water turns blood red

How long can I live this disease?

How long will it imprison me?

Rubbed raw, so now I can bleed

Leave them here to suffer with me

Stagnant water in your veins

A gunshot ends your pain

Lifeless men in the riverbed

Stagnant water turns blood red

The blood pours and flows in streams

Stench of death blows in with the breeze

Bullet hits so you lay your head

On the bloody mouth of the riverbed

Stagnant water in your veins

A gunshot ends your pain

Lifeless men in the riverbed

Stagnant water turns blood red

Gather round the whipping pole, boy

Take their turns at beating you down

Grit your teeth, you feel it coming

Just some more meat to pound

Begging does you no good

We turned a deaf ear to your pleas

Sober life that you fear, it’s coming

Without the chance of being free

Break! Break!

Break these damn chains
