Respect the Dead
I'm your enemy while I live
But when I cease to breathe
I become your good friend
Twist the facts to show remorse
Hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
Person lives and is hated
How is that? It happens
They die and get respected
Does death pay their debt?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can't you see?
You hate me when I'm alive
You respect me when I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...
Remember how you live your life
The difference it doesn't make...
No matter how, how you live
Everyone's goals are different
But we all reach the one place
With silk walls, under the ground
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
Hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
You hate me when I'm alive
You respect me when I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...
But when I cease to breathe
I become your good friend
Twist the facts to show remorse
Hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
Person lives and is hated
How is that? It happens
They die and get respected
Does death pay their debt?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can't you see?
You hate me when I'm alive
You respect me when I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...
Remember how you live your life
The difference it doesn't make...
No matter how, how you live
Everyone's goals are different
But we all reach the one place
With silk walls, under the ground
I hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
Hated you, you hated me, that's the truth, can you say?
You hate me when I'm alive
You respect me when I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead...
