Stagnant Water

Ruined body swinging from a tree
Gunshot wound clean in a soft felt sea
Cut throat dead on a blood red sun
And the right hand of God
Is a gun!

Full moon overhead
A good night to burry your dead
Your body aches as the night closes in
Waves crash down, is kept with no end

Stagnant water in your veins
A gunshot is your pain
Lifeless man in river bed
Stagnant water turn blood red

How long can I live this disease?
How long will it imprison me?
Blood drawn so now I can bleed
Leave him here to suffer with me

Stagnant water in your veins
A gunshot is your pain
Lifeless man in river bed
Stagnant water turn blood red

The blood pours in frozen streams
Sticks of death blows in with the breeze
Pull it in so you lay your head
On the blood and mouth of the river bed

Stagnant water in your veins
A gunshot is your pain
Lifeless man in river bed
Stagnant water turn blood red

Gather round the whipping pole boy
Take there turns in beating you down
Cringe your teeth and feel it coming
Just some more meat to pound
Begging does you no good
Turn your death into you peace
Sober life as you feel it coming
Without a chance of being free
Break, break, break these damn chains!
