Six Feet Under The Gun

[Music & lyrics: Dave Silver]Your conceited doctrines burned, all your principles you spurnedBecause in truth they were not their, another costume that you wearThe bitterness burns at youBut a lie is never the truthA supercilious facade to hide the weakness that's at heartIn spite the reason that belies the wretched traits you die to hideThe servant was born to betray as the light is sure to faceAll at once it crashes downIn this mire you will drownTo the sound of your own voiceSix feet under the gunAll the bridges that you burnedOpportunities you spurnedAll come crashing down on youSix feet under the gunSuch a tangled web we weaveIn the practice of deceitFor too long we were ensnaredSix feet under the gunAs it unravels ‘fore your eyesOnly silence nullifiesSanctimonious denialSix feet under the gunYour burning need to hold the floor, to perpetrate the caricatureAnd in sarcastic false riposte malfunction in senseless lossThe fantasy swallows youWhen you've bitten off more than you can chewAll at once it crashes downIn this mire you will drownTo the sound of your own voiceSix feet under the gunAll the bridges that you burnedOpportunities you spurnedAll come crashing down on youSix feet under the gunSuch a tangled web we weaveIn the practice of deceitFor too long we were ensnaredSix feet under the gunAs it unravels ‘for your eyesOnly silence nullifiesSanctimonious denialSix feet under the gun
