Days to throw away,
wasted on old ways.
A life to throw away
because of foul play!

You always have death
to fall back on!
So blindfold your eyes
and end the lie!

It's the perfect end
to your legacy;
Lead taint on the walls,
poison Hennessey...

We live life as thieves;
We live to deceive!

You forfeit to God;
He overwhelmed you.
You misplayed his bluff
and folded too soon.

You always have death
to fall back on!
So blindfold your eyes
and end the lie!

It's the perfect end
to your legacy;
Lead taint on the walls,
poison Hennessey...

We live life as thieves;
We live to deceive!

Life's but a cruel joke;
And it's not funny!

But...

It's the perfect end
to your legacy!
