Walk Tall Lyrics

All the kids down the street
They're fucking laughing at me
Cause I'm a MURDERER!
I hear them under their breath
All the neighbors call me Mr. Death

(But I don't give a shit!)


It's taken every ounce of strength
I've got to hold my head up
And face the devil in the mirror every day

It's getting worse, it's getting worse
(it's getting worse), (it's getting worse)
(This fever's overcome my body And my face is dripping wet with the blood of the damned)

Beauty is only skin-deep
So naturally I'd skin the bitch alive
So we can see what's underneath this falsified anatomy
Your perfect teeth, what the perfect disguise

To glorify all the lies and bullshit seeping out the sides
(Let's go!)
I'm begging for a way to wipe the slate clean
But if I'm bound to burn in hell
You're coming with me
You can't fucking save me
So save your fucking breath!
We've got her now boys
There's nowhere left to run
What you call necromancing I call retribution

OH!
HA HA HA HA!

Necromancer take me back to where it all began
How can we hope to save the future without confronting our past?

"To my unborn son, I'll see you in heaven when all has been said and done
And lord above, please forgive my love for he knows not what he has done"

So tell me; where did we go wrong?
And when did the world start to turn?
Seems like these days have been numbered
Etched in our blood and our bones
If we keep fighting each other we'll end up all on our own

Where were you?
When they broke through our defenses and left our family defenseless
Relentlessly in pursuit of our glory and our heart
Let me guess this is the part where you tell everyone it wasn't your fault

Here let me carry that cross for ya
While you bang in the nails!
(You're not gonna get too far
Pretending something you're not
Stay true to who you are
Cause each other's all we've got)

Blah. Blah! BLAH! BLAH!
FUCK THE WORLD!
AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR!
IT MAKES ME FUCKING SICK!
YOU SICK DECEIVING BITCH!
I HOPE YOU FUCKING BURN IN HELL!

LET'S GO!

I'm begging for a way to wipe the slate clean
But if I'm bound to burn in hell, You're coming with me!

Women!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
You're all the fucking same!

God himself in all his glory couldn't hold me back from where I right belong
Buried at my brother's side and screaming till the day I die
"Follow your heart and you can never go wrong"

But I can't watch you walk away
Misbehaving, playing games with another man
Cause I'd rather put you in your grave
Than watch you walk with him hand-in-hand

Now careful baby cause you might get cut
Better tell your man to keep his fucking mouth shut
I don't quite think he knows exactly how the story goes
And if he wants a piece of my heart I'll take a piece of his throat!
I'm going kill you slow
Wanna watch the light leave your eyes
And boy you're walking pretty tall for a man your size
(Ha-ha-ha!)

They told me I was given a gift but this lonely gift is called loneliness
And this heart of gold filled with emptiness Is hopelessly worthless
Cause all I wanna do is help everyone else
But I never quite learned how to help myself
Is it any wonder that I can't help this constant urge to kill?

Cause this fucking rooms become my hell
And these god damn walls keep calling me out
So I'll tear em down till nothing's left
And I'll keep on singing till I'm out of breath

Because even if I didn't have a microphone
Well I'd still be screaming all on my own
And I'll keep singing till the music's gone
Even if it takes all god damn night long!

But as long as I've got your attention
I should probably mention
I've got a few confessions or skeletons in my closet

Y'see I killed a man, just to watch him die
And I killed a woman cause I fantasized
About it every day,
in every which way
Would somebody just please come take me away

Cause I'm sick (sick) and I'm only getting worse
Hit her with a bat just to watch her hurt
And as I casually filled up her mouth with dirt
I could hear her say "I hate you"

Well baby join the fucking club!
Cause if you don't know, I don't give a fuck!
So hit the fucking road and make with the pavement
Cause soon you'll be begging me to put an end to your suffering

Cause SUFFERING's spelled L-O-V-E
And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Cause MISERY doesn't start with an M
It's spelled D-A-M-I-E-N!

YEAH!

And now that you know your fucking alphabet.. sing with me

(Woah-oh-oh-oh)

So raise your hands so I can see 'em
Raise 'em like you just don't need 'em
Raise 'em like you're under a spell
Now raise 'em like you're raising hell!

So raise your hands so I can see 'em
Raise 'em like you just don't need 'em
Raise 'em like you're under a spell
Now raise 'em like you're raising hell!

I've held my tongue so long I'm starting to fucking choke
I've set my sights so high
My eyes are in the back of my skull
Cause lord knows!
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock and roll


Will they remember?
(Remember, remember)
All the wrong I've done

Destiny guide me through fear and through death
