Valco Vespucci - Venator Mortuorum

Instrumental Intro

(VENATOR MORTUORUM)

(VENATOR MORTUORUM)

Verse 1

Bell tolls twice for the boys in the ground

Two hammers cock back slow

I count my bullets like old friends

And none of them owe me a thing

The crypt breathes out a cold hello

I tip my hat to the dark

Pre-Chorus

SANGUIS ET CINIS

That's all they ever leave

SANGUIS ET CINIS

And I sweep it off my boots

Chorus

DOMINUS FERRI

DOMINUS FERRI

Six shots six names

DOMINUS FERRI

And the last one's always free

Drop

MORS VENIT, FERRUM CANIT

MORS VENIT, FERRUM CANIT

Verse 2

The vampires ask me my credentials

I show them both my hands

They laugh until the barrels speak

Then nobody laughs again

I've buried kings and cardinal sins

And billed the parish twice

Pre-Chorus

UMBRAE CADUNT

They fold like wet paper

UMBRAE CADUNT

And I never break a sweat

Chorus

DOMINUS FERRI

DOMINUS FERRI

Six shots six names

DOMINUS FERRI

And the last one's always free

Bridge

(SANGUIS ET CINIS)

Spoken now, gentleman

I've outlived every sermon that was preached against my kind

You'll pardon me for yawning at your fangs

I've got a schedule

And it's double-booked with your funeral

Chorus

DOMINUS FERRI

Six shots six names

And the last one's always free
