    Ballad Of Richard K

    by: Asg

    Keep down by the ones who sat by your side
    Guts blushing on a night shadow lonley pize
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    In the path of my foes, left to die
    Visions of the highway
    I bent back into the light
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Ten seconds till the blackout parts with his crime
    Got money don't buy in, dont buy the light
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Lay down, got rythem
    Where trying to find it
    On stage like a luminous gunner
    Where trying to find it
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can' sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
