Devil In A Midnight Mass

A devil in a midnight mass,
He preyed behind stained glass
A memory of Sunday class,
Resurrected from the past

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
Getting closer to my door
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
"Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife,
You’re guilty!

A devil in a midnight mass,
Killed the boy inside the man
The holy water in his hands,
Can never wash away his sins

Hold your breath and count to four
Pinky swears don’t work no more
Put my trust in God that day,
Not the man that taught his way
I was alive, but now I’m singing…

Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Violent Knight… at the edge of your knife,
"Forgive me Father”…don’t make it right
Silent Night… for the rest of my life,
Silent Night… at the edge of your knife
You’re guilty!

Whisper, whisper… don’t make a sound,
Your bed is made; it’s in the ground

Red Flag

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Well I’ve never seen us act like this,
Our only hope is the minds of kids,
And they’ll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
It’s only time before they tighten the noose,
And then the hunt will be on for you

The red flag waving never meant the same…
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
We’ll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder if there’s a wall,
Don’t be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself, or they’ll speak for you

The red flag waving never meant the same…

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Like a fire, don’t need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like riot, don’t need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr

We don’t need them!

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday

We don’t need them!

This Suffering

Like a target drawn across my chest,
She’s a bullet in Russian Roulette
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

This suffering!

Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!

And when she spins the bottle round and round,
Every time it leaves me gagged and bound
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

This suffering!

Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!

Misery, won’t get the best of me
‘Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff
Throw down the cards, I’ve had enough!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

This suffering!

Every time,
You tried to leave me blind
You’ll never close my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!

Worker Bees

March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!

We take our orders given by the queen
We’re not the killers, we’re the worker bees
If you resist us you will feel our sting
Surrender now before the swarm sets in

Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?

March on, worker bees!
Know your enemy!

A pollination coming from the west,
And in a flash we will invade your nest
Supply of honey flowing bottomless
Play by our rules or you’ll be powerless

Protect the hive from enemies!
Protect the hive from enemies!
Follow the herd mentality!
Can we fight to save our souls?
And we’ll march… along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride… the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord… above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?

And we’ll march… along, with our blindfolds on
And we’ll ride… the rails, with our pistols drawn
Can the Lord… above, forgive what we’ve done?
Can we fight to save our souls?

Can we fight to save our souls?
Will we die to save our home?

Pins And Needles

Never understood how she could,
Mean so little to so many
Why does she mean everything to me?

Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Questioning her good intention
Jealousy’s a bad invention
When you push on glass, it’s bound to break

Even when she was defensive,
It just gave me more incentive
The more you squeeze, the more it slips away

I never walked so far on a lonely street
With no-one there for me
Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Accept this confession! …I’m walking on pins and needles
You’re not my possession! …I’m walking on pins and needles
My conscience is vicious! …I’m walking on pins and needles
And I’m begging forgiveness! …I’m walking on pins and needles

I never walked so far on a lonely street,
With no one there for me
It took too long to see her in misery
And now it’s clear to me

That it’s worth the pain, always take the blame
For all your own insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Fallen Leaves

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghosts
Searching for something, I couldn’t find at home

Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I never once thought, I’d ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

Run away before you drown!
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

Where Is The Line?

Urban Hipster, the new gangster… frontin’ by the club
New wave mannequins packin’ haircuts, instead of packin’ guns
Magazines form overseas, won’t teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts to tell them what is real

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
She sells street cred with no smile, at the local record store
She’s acting the role and dressing the part, pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity, is it bites without a sting
Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn’t mean a thing

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be your self is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!

Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!
Here today, but forgotten tomorrow!

Covered In Cowardice

Twisted tongues will place you in their category
Face to face, you’ll hear them tell a different story
Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty’s forever
Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever

Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face,
That’s hidden underneath the…

Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Their eyes are blinded by their rage,
Beware the voice without a face!

When you’re insecure, they’ll find the fuel to start a fire
They’re bitter pricks with only hatred to inspire
Level heads prevail… revenge won’t make it better
Trust your instinct like you trust what’s in the mirror
Cowards that hide behind their words,
Don’t care whose feelings will get hurt
Beware the voice without a face,

Surrender

She reads a book from across the street,
Waiting for someone that she’ll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two,
She wonders why I’m always in a good mood

Killing time before she struts her stuff,
She needs support and I’ve become the crutch
She’ll never know how much she means to me,
I’d play the game but I’m the referee

Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

Even though I know what I’m looking for,
She’s got a brick wall behind her door
I’d travel time and confess to her,
But I’m afraid she’d shoot the messenger

Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don’t belong to me
This flower don’t belong to me
Why can’t she belong to me?
Surrender… every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender… every touch, every smile, every frown
Surrender… all the pain we’ve endured until now
Surrender… all the hope that I lost, you have found
Surrender… yourself to me

I never had the nerve to ask,
Has my moment come and passed?

The Navy Song

Time… rolling along with the waves,
A thousand miles away
Holding you close in the rain,
Seems just like yesterday

Lost… hope in a faraway place
And in my hand remains,
A black and white print of a face,
I’ll never see again

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

Love… served until death do us part,
I’m drifting in the dark
Wounded and wishing to fall,
Into your faithful arms

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

Beneath the sky of hate,
Beyond the sea of pain,
In heaven I will wait,
Until we meet again

I gave my life to save her
The ocean turned to red
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all
Cut down like lambs at slaughter,
Good men were left for dead
In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

Perfect World

All we shared was a mattress, and a lie, and an address
Baby I don’t need you, well baby I don’t need you
Once occupied by a goddess, now it’s a room full of boxes
She said, "it’s time to leave you” but baby I don’t need you!
In a perfect world… her face would not exist
In a perfect world… a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world… I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world… this wouldn’t make me sick

I never got the whole story, not ‘til after she left me
Baby I don’t need you, well baby I don’t need you
Word on the street is she f**ked him, while we were playing in Cleveland
Well baby I don’t need you, you’re fading in my rearview

In a perfect world… her face would not exist
In a perfect world… a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world… I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world… this wouldn’t make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
In a perfect world… her face would not exist
In a perfect world… this wouldn’t make me sick!

Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Control-Alt-Deleted
Reset my memory!

In a perfect world… her face would not exist
In a perfect world… a broken heart is fixed
In a perfect world… I’d see no therapist
In a perfect world… this wouldn’t make me sick
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes click!
She pulls the trigger until the gun goes…

Sympathy

A slap in the face,
And I can’t erase,
These things that you say,
Don’t make it all okay, it’s not okay

When push comes to shove,
I’ll put on the gloves,
Intentions are cruel,
I ain’t nobody’s fool you know

It hurts, my pride, step aside,
‘Cause I don’t need your…

Sympathy
Won’t get the best of me!
Misery
That’s what you’re giving me!
Sympathy
It’s just like trickery!
Breaking me down

A fistful of lies,
Dressed up in disguise,
And make no mistake,
I know they’re all so fake, they’re all so fake
My self-righteous friend,
I just can’t pretend,
Your words are the truth,
Sincere only when they suit you

It hurts, my pride, step aside,
‘Cause I don’t need your…

Sympathy!
Won’t get the best of me
Misery!
That’s what your giving me
Sympathy!
It’s just like trickery
Breaking me down

Sympathy
Won’t get the best of me!
Misery
This s**t is killing me!
Sympathy
It’s just like trickery!
Breaking me down

Breaking me down

Burn The Evidence

In a garage, beside a house, there is a luxury Sedan
And for his next monthly installment,
He’s gonna go out with a bang!
Boy who always did what he was told,
Was promised to be king when he was old

Hit the brakes, hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face

There is a man, intensive care
When he awakes he will declare,
"I’ve been dead for 20 years!
I won’t let 20 more go by…”
Boy who always did what he was told,
Bought the only dream that he was sold

Hit the brakes, Hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face

Burn the evidence… of my existence,
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence… of all these things,
That pull my spirit down

Ever feel like you’ve been cheated,
Following what they believe?
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
There’s no more time to waste!

Burn the evidence… of my existence,
Clear the ashes on the ground
Burn the evidence… of all these things,
That pull my spirit down

Burn the evidence!
Don’t shake the hands of fate,
There’s no more time to waste!

BILLY TALENT I:

This is How it Goes

Every body is tired and poor and sick of trying! 
If you see me on a corner will you stop or will you splash me? 
Take a look at what we've become, nthing more than silhouettes of 
A pretty family on a postcard picture perfect, I don't want it! 

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes! 
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes! 

Shitty weather, bad timing, lucky penny glue to the ground, 
Dirty look from a total strange, hope you get lost and you're not found! 
Take a look at, what we've become, nothing more than silhouettes of 
A pretty family on a postcard picture perfect, I don't want it! 

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes! 
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes! 

This is, how it, it goes! 

So unscrew my head, and then rinse it out, 
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts! 

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes! 
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul, 
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes!

Living in the Shadows

Constant quick fixes, don't make no sense 
Hop on bandwagons, you make me sick 

Don't you tell me, what you think is right! 
When you're living in the shadows 
I can tell that, you have lost your sight! 
When you're living in the shadows 

Distant loud chuckles, keep me awake 
Awkward instances won't make you hip

Don't you tell me, what you think is right! 
When you're living in the shadows 
I can tell that, you have lost your sight! 
When you're living in the shadows 

We've said this all before, your shadow's at the door, 
We've said this all before, your shadow's at the door, 
There's darkness in the hall and we won't take the fall! 

Don't you tell me, what you think is right! 
When you're living in the shadows 
I can tell that, you have lost your sight! 
When you're living in the shadows

Try Honesty

I tripped, fell down naked 
I scratched my knees they bled 
Sew up my eyes, need no more 
In our game, there is no score 


Forgive me father why should you bother 
Try honesty, try honesty 
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck 
Ride over me, ride over me 
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls 
Die tragedy, die tragedy 
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake 
Cry agony, cry agony 

Insane assault, so sly 
Your well of lies ran dry 
I cut the cord, free fall From so high we seem so small 


Forgive me father why should you bother 
Try honesty, try honesty 
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck 
Ride over me, ride over me 
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls 
Die tragedy, die tragedy 
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake 
Cry agony, cry agony 

I'm insane, it's your fault... cry!!! 

Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now? 

Forgive me father why should you bother 
Try honesty, try honesty 
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck 
Ride over me, ride over me 
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls 
Die tragedy, die tragedy 
Call me a cheapskate, come on for pete's sake 
Cry agony, cry agony

Line & Sinker

What you see is what you get! 
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker 
Look at me and don't forget! 
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers 


Today I don't feel pretty 
And I'm tired of trying to fit right in 
Don't think that you're so great 
Cause being great must suck! 


We don't always see the bright side 
We all need ego suicide 
You hung my ID today 
But I have licked my 
wounds and carried on


Everybody needs some sympathy 
Santa seemed to miss my chimney 
Reality is truly scaring me 
So stand up straight and firmly say... 


What you see is what you get! 
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker 
Look at me and don't forget! 
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers 


My heart is in the right place 
So wipe that smirk right off your face 
Don't make me feel like that, 
Cause you're just plain not nice! 


We don't always see the bright side 
And I lied when I said I was fine 
You slapped my face today 
But I have licked 
my wounds and carried on 


Everybody needs some sympathy 
Sadly seem to miss my chimney 
Reality is truly scaring me 
Stand up straight and firmly say 


What you see is what you get!

Everybody needs some sympathy 
Santa seemed to miss my chimney 
You stole my luck from me 
And now my fortune cookie's empty! 

What you see is what you get!
Fishing for the answers with a line and sinker
Look at me and don't forget! 
Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers

The Ex

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed, 
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray! 
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray! 

So I sat in my room for 27 days, 
No she never called, I had something to say! 
No she never called, I had something to say! 

I don't know much and I don't know how... 

Why would she put me through such torture, 
I would have given my life for her, 
She was the one that knocked me over, 
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner 

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame 
She can go to hell I'll never be the same! 
She can go to hell I'll never be the same! 

And these open wonds will heal with time they say, 
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray! 
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray! 

I don't know much and I don't know how... 

Why would she put me through such torture, 
I would have given my life for her, 
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

River Below

Rejected...since day one 
My name is...bastard son 
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count! 
Blue collar...wokring man 
Devises...masterplan 
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm 

I'm sick and I'm twisted 
I'm broken you can't fix it, don't make me 
cause I'll do it, red button and we'll all go... 

Into the river below...running from the inferno...
You'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name! 
Into the river below...running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame! 

Contraption...made up of 
Nuts and bolt...creates the 
New monster...to burn your family tree down! 
Tick-tocking...time's up now 
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never had nobody! 

I'm sick and I'm twisted 
I'm broken you can't fix it, don't make me 
cause I'll do it, red button and we'll all go... 

Into the river below...running from the inferno...
You'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name! 
Into the river below...running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Standing in the Rain

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
My looks and smile have no become my curse, 
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street 
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well I guess I want you 
Oh pretty baby how could you! 

Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983, 
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops 
Running through my veins 

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse, 
No sun, my room has now become my hearse 
Cold sores, I'm beat got bruises on my feet, 
My pride, these men have taken it from me! 

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well I guess I want you 
Oh pretty baby how could you! 

Standing in the rain...
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,

And if ya want me, well I guess I want you

Cut The Curtains

My girl, your so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So let's see, we've got 5 bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we 

Cut the curtains. the actors have gone home 
Intermission's a mission on it's own 

Now here, seems our wax wings have melted away
And we've only been here for one day
My faith fades away 

So don't be a grey cloud when there's none in the sky 
We found there's no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried 

Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home 
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold

There is no doubt you throw your inbox out 

Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home 
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold

We don't have time to fold

Prisoners of Today

I never bite off more than I can chew but 
then she came and bit me, 
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg, 
She said "Don't wanna work, I wanna play and live 
my life like it was Sunday!"
"The only problem is that Sunday only comes 
now once a week and I'm a freak but..." 

We're breaking up the city, 
No time for wasting away, 
So tell me why should we stay, 
Prisoners of today! 

My body's tired my souls excited and 
I wish that I was gifted, 
My body's tired my souls excited and 
I wish I had some spunk, 
She said " I wanna run, I wanna hide, and 
leave this place just like it left me"
"The only problem is I need to find the balls to 
follow through and that's the truth now..." 

We're breaking up the city, 
No time for wasting away, 
So tell me why should we stay, 
Prisoners of today 

When there's no time for one another? 

Cause this is our time and our place...
History I can't erase 

We're breaking up the city, 
No time for wasting away, 
So tell me why should we stay, 
Prisoners of today 

When there's no time for one another? 
There's no time for one another?

Nothing To Lose

Need more friends with wings, 
All the angels I know put concrete in my veins 
I’d always walk home alone 
So I became lifeless just like my telephone 


There’s nothing to lose 
When no one knows your name 
There’s nothing to gain 
But the days don’t seem to change 


Never played truth or dare, 
I’d have to check my mirror to see if I’m still here 
My parents had no clue, 
That I ate all my lunches alone in the bathroom 


There’s nothing to lose 
When no one knows your name 
There’s nothing to gain 
But the days don’t seem to change 

There’s nothing to lose 
My notebook will explain 
There’s nothing to gain 
And I can’t fight the pain 


Teachers said it’s just a phase, 
When I grow up my children will probably do the same 
Kids just love to tease, 
Who'd know it put me under ground at age 17 


There’s nothing to lose 
When no one knows your name 
There’s nothing to gain 
But the days don’t seem to change

There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain

Voices of Violence

Don't wait for, a knight in shining armour 
Your saviour's, reflected in the mirror 
These flowers, have grown from bloodstains on the ground! 

Go rake the, leaves of your grass and my grave 
The fact is, everyone bleeds when they shave 
There's no use, so don't deny we're just the same! 

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger 
Voices of violence 

These cowboys, will ride off in the sunset 
Once their toys, have turned another profit 
Back fire, their smoking guns will never rest! 

Unleash the, skeletons from the closet 
These strangers, are friends that you never met 
They'll send them, sympathies with a Hallmark card 

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger 
Voices of violence 

Even after I'm dead and buried, I'll still remember 
Even after I'm dead and buried, I'll come back fighting! 

We'll take it back!
Broken dagger, southern swagger 
Voices of violence 

Voices of violence will always be heard
