There's a fire inside of us burning bright red
Violence in our nature that's why we all end up dead
You think your god can save you, well that's all in your head
The first time we met I knew I was done in
I held her close with a dark and wicked grin
The next thing you know she's gone and killed again
Lead and steel
Made me feel
Like I'm cursed and I don't care
Don't bother sending prayers
They won't get me anywhere
She's cold and she's loud and she's always spittin' flame
Slight her even once and she'll remember your name
She'll strike you down but I always get the blame
State of Alabama gave me a new necktie
Twisted in a knot and strung me up so high
And I thrashed and I writhed but I just can't fly
Lead and steel
Made me feel
Like I'm cursed and I don't care
Don't bother sending prayers
They won't get me anywhere
Don't bother prayin' for me
I was blind but now I see
I see the end is nigh
And I ain't afraid to die
I just hope that hell ain't dry
