The Primrose Path
I tried to do it the right way
And all I caught was hell
Left a broken mess on the ground
No one to blame but myself
No one to blame
I played myself and lost the game
No justice and no love lost
No penance, disregard the cost
Nothing left to say
So I'm bringing hell with me
Can you hear the trumpets sing
Four riders in tow behind me
Omens ready to scorch this earth
It's an endless cycle
The greif and the rage
Honor bound to be the better man
And all it's given me is pain
So what's the fucking point
An eye for an eye doesn't cut it anymore
Haunted by righteousness
Too scared to cross that line
Look in the eyes of the dead
Revenants of the fallen
Arms linked chanting guilty
But it's me they curse
It's me who failed them
I tried your way
No more half measures
Now I'll feed the earth
Corpses of the wicked
Quench the soil with their blood
The only cure for an evil man
Is a bullet to the head
This is a war
I won't make the same mistakes
I'll wipe that grin straight from your face
I learned more from my enemies
Than I ever did my heroes
You left me to die
I'm on the wrong side
I found my purpose at the end of the iron
Suffer the resurrection
Murderer
Redeemer
I'll walk that crooked line
If I'm to be a damned man
For taking matters into my own hands
Then I'll laugh
Oh I'll fucking laugh
Swinging from the gallows
Watching you search for your spine
I'll gladly leave this world behind
There's no way to win
There's too many crosses to bear
There's no place for me
There's no place for me
And all I caught was hell
Left a broken mess on the ground
No one to blame but myself
No one to blame
I played myself and lost the game
No justice and no love lost
No penance, disregard the cost
Nothing left to say
So I'm bringing hell with me
Can you hear the trumpets sing
Four riders in tow behind me
Omens ready to scorch this earth
It's an endless cycle
The greif and the rage
Honor bound to be the better man
And all it's given me is pain
So what's the fucking point
An eye for an eye doesn't cut it anymore
Haunted by righteousness
Too scared to cross that line
Look in the eyes of the dead
Revenants of the fallen
Arms linked chanting guilty
But it's me they curse
It's me who failed them
I tried your way
No more half measures
Now I'll feed the earth
Corpses of the wicked
Quench the soil with their blood
The only cure for an evil man
Is a bullet to the head
This is a war
I won't make the same mistakes
I'll wipe that grin straight from your face
I learned more from my enemies
Than I ever did my heroes
You left me to die
I'm on the wrong side
I found my purpose at the end of the iron
Suffer the resurrection
Murderer
Redeemer
I'll walk that crooked line
If I'm to be a damned man
For taking matters into my own hands
Then I'll laugh
Oh I'll fucking laugh
Swinging from the gallows
Watching you search for your spine
I'll gladly leave this world behind
There's no way to win
There's too many crosses to bear
There's no place for me
There's no place for me
