The scene is an old boathouse on some forgotten lake A sleepy memory that reminds me of my great mistake My inspiration for self hatred and obsession with cause and effect But I ain't smart enough to figure it out, at least not yet My biggest fear was never dying alone, I wouldn't mind that at all But hating the company that has to watch me when I fall 'Cos there ain't no way in Hell I'm gonna end up in Heaven Maybe I never had a spirit and I am not my Father's son When I finally break in two and they strap each piece into a chair They will curse my wretched name they will cut off all my hair My last words to my one and only a girl from way down South We'll meet again my love I'll see you in the Devil's mouth

Lament's Ballad
The scene is an old boathouse on some forgotten lake A sleepy memory that reminds me of my great mistake My inspiration for self hatred and obsession with cause and effect But I ain't smart enough to figure it out, at least not yet My biggest fear was never dying alone, I wouldn't mind that at all But hating the company that has to watch me when I fall 'Cos there ain't no way in Hell I'm gonna end up in Heaven Maybe I never had a spirit and I am not my Father's son When I finally break in two and they strap each piece into a chair They will curse my wretched name they will cut off all my hair My last words to my one and only a girl from way down South We'll meet again my love I'll see you in the Devil's mouth
