Six Feet Of Rope And Revenge

At the end of the road
As they're daring along,
He jumped into the lion's den

As the noose was tied tight
Up around his neck
He used sand and blood to entertain

Life is short
And it's rules are long
They'll beat you again and again

When push comes to shove
Your time is up
Don't extinguish your favourite flame

This is not
A way to end
Life's too short to
Waste, my friend

These copper colour hearts
Exposed to the world
He spelt pride with his hammer and his tongue

Face to the wall
He put his back upon it
And sank to oblivion

At a moment a heavy heart
Should stand till the bitter end
The growing crowd
Is baying for blood
They want six feet of rope and revenge

This is not
A way to end
Life's too short to
Waste, my friend
