They’re taking me to the gallows, mother They’re going to hang me high It is a wonderful day to live And a gloomy day to die
[Chorus]
As I walk through the Valley of Death Oranges horizons and aggravated breath Once a million boots went slogging through Hell Beer and gun, no comfort, bombs to shell
[Verse 1: Sabac Red]
Hey yo Billy caught a pistol and Jamie had a gun Tina never did but her dad had one When she was twelve, he put a twenty-two in her hand Then he took her out back, had her shooting at cans Her arms twitching but she’s a natural born killer Who loved Non Phixion, Korn, and J-Dilla Her Myspace page was packed and filled With pictures of her mom who was carjacked and killed Now she practice skills which she breeds in fear Brings a gun to school through her senior year What she sees is clear and pursues a degree In psychology and music at UNLV Then the money got low, her dad got hurt and he’s sick Now she’s working on the strip robbing johns, turning tricks Goes to class in the day, sells her ass at night Became addicted to coke despite past advice And then disaster strikes, she’s taking Xanax for the panic What she thought she could manage now turned into an addict She’s staring in the mirror, daddy’s gun to her head The gun he gave her should’ve saved her but might kill her instead
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Lordwillin]
Death valley is the alley where Sally reside Lost souls tally high with violence replacing pride Collide with suicides, some signs and symptoms return Horrified, the noose is tied ? from an urn It’s conducive to arrive but the tide doesn’t turn Exclusive the Grim Reaper’s replacing lives with a bird From Hell or Heaven if you’re hoping I dwell until the gates open It’s corrosion in the ocean of purity’s form So my notion is devotion to where obscurity’s norm God’s soldiers said we pay rent for breathing Drown your sins in gin which will never get even There’s no way I’m leaving until my reason is restored A new season is gleaming from the scheming I explore The horizon’s ? with the angels of the arch Fear is clear, the ship we steer runs on that waters of the dark
[Interlude]
There’s no time for regret No happiness in the Valley of Death Just grab your family as we march past your step That last weak breath within the cavalry’s tread No happiness in the Valley of Death
