Six Feet Under The Gun Lyrics - Savage Messiah

Your conceited doctrines burned, all your principles you spurned 

Because in truth they were not their, another costume that you wear 

The bitterness burns at you 

But a lie is never the truth 

A supercilious facade to hide the weakness that's at heart 

In spite the reason that belies the wretched traits you die to hide 

The servant was born to betray as the light is sure to fade 

All at once it crashes down 

In this mire you will drown 

To the sound of your own voice 

Six feet under the gun 

All the bridges that you burned 

Opportunities you spurned 

All come crashing down on you 

Six feet under the gun 

Such a tangled web we weave 

In the practice of deceit 

For too long we were ensnared 

Six feet under the gun 

As it unravels for your eyes 

Only silence nullifies 

Sanctimonious denial 

Six feet under the gun 

Your burning need to hold the floor, to perpetrate the caricature 

And in sarcastic false riposte malfunction in senseless loss 

The fantasy swallows you 

When you've bitten off more that you can chew 

All at once...
