The Night I Died

Prelude

The night I died

It was cold in the tall grass

The night I died

Watching stars go out at last

The night I died

Verse 1

Silver barrel pressed to my head

I heard a click

Standing in the weeds alone

You pulled the trigger back

Midnight metal pressed

Hot, hot and sudden

Stopped the ticking in my chest

One flash of light, then it’s gone

Pre-Chorus

Watch the shadow

Watch the trigger

Watch it all go black

Chorus

Blood on the weeds

Blood on the weeds

Bitter cold and all alone

The night I died

Mud fills up my mouth

Swimming in the red blood

Swimming in the red blood

Verse 2

I feel the blood run down my skin

Losing breath where life had been

Falling in the weeds

Darker than the earth below

Sinking in the mud

Nowhere left for me to go

Breath is slipping away

Night has turned to day

Pre-Chorus

Watch the shadow

Watch the trigger

Watch it all go black

Chorus

Blood on the weeds

Blood on the weeds

Bitter cold and all alone

The night I died

Mud fills up my mouth

Swimming in the red blood

Swimming in the red blood

Verse 3

Black - black barrel steady

Finger gets ready

One life ending

Vision is blurring

Darkness is stirring

Silence is winning

Body in the weeds

Body in the mud

Bridge

Lost the pulse

Lost the line

Cut the ties to everything left behind

I am fading fast

I'm not gonna last

Gone forever into the mud

Chorus

Blood on the weeds

Blood on the weeds

Bitter cold and all alone

The night I died

Mud fills up my mouth

Swimming in the red blood

Swimming in the red blood

The night I died

The night I died

The night you killed me
