BAD DAY IN HEAVEN

I hear them creeping around the corner
The angels have come to whisper curses in your ear
And impale you with their Judas knives
Gift a poisoned shard laced with acid fear

There’s a Maelstrom of blades coming their way
Storm of Hell to snuff out the holy light
Leave the culture buried beneath the stain
Because it’s a bad day
A bad day to be in Heaven tonight

I got an ax to grind
And a stake to drive
The devil on my left
Just wants to kill
The angel on my right
Got a knife in my back
A splinter to drive
My personal demon
Won’t stop killing
The angel on my right

Long gone are the days of giving a fuck
I’d rather bury them and wash my hands
Let the maggots have their fucking way
And leave the scent of piss on desert sands

A hurricane of hate is coming their way
Storm of Hell to snuff out the holy light
Keep your beliefs buried in deserved graves
Because it’s a bad day
A bad day to be in Heaven tonight

I got an ax to grind
And a stake to drive
The devil on my left
Just wants to kill
The angel on my right
Got a knife in my back
A splinter to drive
My personal demon
Won’t stop killing
The angel on my right

Beat me down
I will not break
Cause I’m a
Son of a bitch
A SON OF A BITCH
WHO’S HAD ENOUGH

I got an ax to grind
And a stake to drive
The devil on my left
Just wants to kill
The angel on my right
Got a knife in my back
A splinter to drive
My personal demon
Won’t stop killing
The angel on my right
