Left Me for Dead
Lyrics
You didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way
And no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
You didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't stop, no, 'til Hell is your home
There's nowhere to hide, no, nowhere
You'll feel the cold of my gun at your head
How you left me for dead
And it's not like you stayed by my side
Or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth
To check for gold teeth
You were pawning my shoes as I bled
You left me for, left me for, left me for dead
You kept on takin' your time
Until it was certain I couldn't survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
How you left me for dead
And it didn't trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights, you put me to bed
How you left me for dead
And I say, I won't rest my head until Hell is your home
You think that you're safe, but oh no
You'll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
How you left me for dead
And you didn't stay close to me, didn't stay by my side
I was choking in blood as the laugh filled your eyes
You were a bum for each word that you said
'Cause you left me for, left me for, left me for dead
But I don't wanna search no more
There's nowhere to hide
So, why don't you come quietly, my love
I wanted to say
To say that you sure proved the death of me
'Cause now I've reached a dead end
And I can't go back
But if I'm going down, you'll come with me
'Cause you didn't stop to look 'round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on your way and no prayer was said
How you left me for dead
'Cause you didn't cover my face
I didn't merit a communal grave
You set me aside and no tears were shed
How you left me for dead
Oh, and we'll move shoulder to shore the light
Whispered in grey by the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead
Oh, assemble the people inside of the light
Let us go wrong on the side of the light
I know each word that was said
How you left me for dead, oh
