lirik lagu dropkick murphys - the vultures circle high
[verse 1]
i sold my soul for pennies and gave blood for quarters
i built it to an empire and locked all the borders
i k!lled for faith and family, but never said i loved you
we burned all that crossed us, it was more than a few
they’ll plant me pretty flowers and tell my tales of glory
i’ll see you down the road like all those before me
they’ll hide in the hair of truth, i repay you on my journey
don’t let these little facts ruin a good story
[pre~chorus]
now plant me pretty flowers
plant mе pretty little flowers
[chorus]
and lay mе down, down six foot deep
in dust and dirt and worms, i’ll sleep
it’s time for me, my darling, sweet
sweet angel now to say goodbye
and lay me down, down six foot deep
in peace and quiet, i’ll finally sleep
it’s time for me to close these eyes
and leave behind this world of lies
leave behind this world of lies
[verse 2]
as my legacy’s concerned, i’ve dotted all my i’s
crossed all my t’s and severed all my ties
the evidence is burned, the documents are shred
it’s time to climb the stairs and perish here in bed
so my enemies are many and the vultures circle high
may the family all be spared as i shut my eyes to die
when the lion finally rests, the pride will conspire
your best won’t be enough when you’re thrown to the fire
[pre~chorus]
now plant me pretty flowers
plant me pretty little flowers
[chorus]
and lay me down, down six foot deep
in dust and dirt and worms, i’ll sleep
it’s time for me, my darling, sweet
sweet angel now to say goodbye
and lay me down, down six foot deep
in peace and quiet, i’ll finally sleep
it’s time for me to close these eyes
and leave behind this world of lies
leave behind this world of lies
[bridge]
like all those before me who never stood a chance
demons and derelicts, we ran to the dance
with a bullet in the chamber and a hand on the flame
we were taught by the worst the rules of the game
nice guys are losers, we all know a few
someone always comes in last and it better not be you
so fight dirty, fight often, more chances to win
don’t make excuses, to fail is a sin
don’t make excuses, to fail is a sin
[chorus]
and lay me down, down six foot deep
in dust and dirt and worms, i’ll sleep
it’s time for me, my darling, sweet
sweet angel now to say goodbye
and lay me down, down six foot deep
in peace and quiet, i’ll finally sleep
it’s time for me to close these eyes
and leave behind this world of lies
leave behind this world of lies
