Corb Lund - Apocaplyptic Modified Blues lyrics

rate me

Gather round me all you sinners, all you gamblers and card sharps<br />

You drinkers and abusers, all you fighters at your hearts<br />

You might pay heed...<br />

Cuz ain't nothin' ever walked the earth like this before<br />

<br />

Have you made your peace with Odin and with Baal and Aphrodite<br />

Cuz there's a triple headed serpent here with one hell of a bite<br />

And he knows you...<br />

He knows you and laughs and locks the door<br />

<br />

The time has come to learn Arabic for to study on your fate<br />

In verse of old Mohammed and the prophets of the lake<br />

Of fire and ice...<br />

And sulphur, blood and demon acts of war<br />

<br />

So take that little .410 bird gun and them crooked liars' dice<br />

They'll be of no use to you in some chanceless afterlife<br />

But roll them bones...<br />

You oughta roll 'em like you've never rolled before<br />

<br />

(wahid, ithinin, thalatha, arba'a...)<br />

<br />

Beast of field will be upon you, bird of air pluck out your eye<br />

The mercy of the nations will be deaf unto your cry<br />

And on that day...<br />

Ten horns upon the beast shall hate the whore
