COME DEATH OR SORROW
Hell's boiling water makes my teaA million stories my sorrow flies
Trips to the bottom a laughing matter
This grounded hero's rock and shatter
Needles in my back, self curing facts
Love like a knife, hate a fireman's ax
Come death or sorrow
Bullets or the mighty pen
Come death or sorrow
One or both lives tomorrow
Death never dies
Sorrow soon smiles
Death casting shadows
Sorrow turned upside down
Bow and arrows tempt Zen
Feelings capture my butterfly
Come death or sorrow
Pity flirts with unforgivingness
That cold day in hell has arrived
Now they bury you two feet under
Speedy foot traffic running red lights
Reading of the will mourners start to fight
Hooks tie threaded facts to your bed
Grey is the matter that feeds the head
Come death or sorrow
Either one a deadly deed
Come death or sorrow
One or both lives tomorrow
Death never dies
Sorrow soon smiles
Death casting showers
Sorrow turned upside down
Either one a deadly deed
Come death or sorrow
One or both lives tomorrow
Come death or sorrow
