Valley of Death
They're taking me to the gallows, mother
They're going to hang me high
It is a wonderful day to live
And a gloomy day to die
As I walk through the Valley of Death
Oranges horizons and aggravated breath
Once a million boots went
Slogging through Hell
Bear a gun to confront bombs to shell
Hey yo Billy caught a pistol
And Jamie had a gun
Tina never did but her dad had one
When she was twelve, he put a 22 in her hand
Then he took her out back
Had her shooting at cans
Her arms twitching 'cause she's
A natural born killer
Who loved Non Phixion, Korn, and J-Dilla
Her MySpace page was packed and filled
With pictures of her mom who
Was carjacked and killed
Now she practice skills when
She breeds in fear brings a gun to school
Through her senior year
What she sees is clear and pursues a degree
In psychology and music at UNLV
Then the money got low
Her dad got hurt and he's sick
Now she working on the strip robbing johns
Turning tricks goes to class in the day
Sells her ass at night
Became addicted to coke despite past advice
And then disaster strikes
She's taking Xanax for the panic
What she thought she could manage
Now turned into an addict
She's staring in the mirror
Daddy's gun to her head
The gun he gave her should've saved
Her but might kill her instead
As I walk through the Valley of Death
Oranges horizons and aggravated breath
Once a million boots went
Slogging through Hell
Bear a gun to confront bombs to shell
Death Valley is the alley
Where my Sally reside
Lost souls tally high with
Violence replacing pride
Collide with suicides
Some signs and symptoms return
Horrified, the noose is tied and lose
His job from an earn
It's conducive to arrive but
The tide doesn't turn
Exclusive the Grim Reaper's replacing
Lives with a burn
From Hell or Heaven if you're hoping
I dwell until the gates open
It's corrosion in the ocean
Of purity's form so my notion is devotion
To where obscurity's norm
God's soldiers said we pay
Rent for breathing
Drown your sins in gin which
Will never get even
There's no way I'm leaving until
My reason is restored
A new season is gleaming from
The scheming I explore
The horizons rising with the
Angels of the ark fear is clear
The ship we steer runs on
That waters of the dark
There's no time for regret
No happiness in the Valley of Death
Just grab your family as we
March past your step
That last weak breath within
The cavalry's tread
No happiness in the Valley of Death
