A single shot then silence springs   An alarm that blew my whole world apart   Infection spread like a hornet sting   The mark of Cain on a bullet      Shot through a poisoned heart   I could feel the taste of bile come up   Then drop like fire washed with gasoline   Too much just ain't enough when bloodied hands come clean      Then we step off the land   Into the fire   Out of the pan   Into the fire   Just grab my hand   And hold on tight   I'll pull you to   The guiding light      The candle flickered, the wind it howled   The waters crashed, the ship set sail at last   I sometimes sense my brothers scowl   Was molded into a smile   By the coroner's wax   Ashes to ashes and dust to dust   Rosetta Stone, no laughter   In the face of mirth   No phoenix rising from the rust   From the earth to the earth
