Rattlesnake Blues

Would you believe
I've seen my own tombstone
Buried myself under the sands of time as I
Watched the rain fall

All these years spent
In the vipers hold
I've walked a million miles
Down this lonesome road

Walked besides a shadow that's
Darker than my own
Ten feathers taken
From the blackest crow
Don't pass the buck, I'm
Due to pay my toll

Look into the eyes
Of the rattlesnake
Your time will come
When the rattle shakes
When you're staring death
Right in the face
There ain't no way out
And you're way too late

The wish to suicide

Still caught in the struggle
Of the world and all its woes
Still trying to break free
From the vipers hold

Now I'm forced to live
With the choices I've made
I'll burn in the fire
That I lit with this flame

Look into the eyes
Of the rattlesnake
Your time will come
When the rattle shakes
When you're staring death
Right in the face
There ain't no way out
And you're way too
Fuckin' late

The rattle shakes
And you're bound to lose
I'm down again
With the rattlesnake blues
