Branding Iron

There’s sixteen dead

There’s a hornet’s nest

Inside my head

My daughter’s gone

She won’t be back

Behind chained doors

They burned to black



Parked down the street

From the convenience store

I been keepin’ a secret

In my top dresser drawer

Red light flashin’

Siren comin’ loud

The trap is sprung

I greet the crowd



I’m a thousand tornados

Screamin’ cross the plains

I’m Gabriel’s Horn

On Judgment Day

I’m months of darkness

I’m years of rain

God’s branding iron

Bears my name



There is no tether

To hold me back

There is no answer

There is no path

There is no reason

There is no end

There’s just regret

There’s just revenge

Tonight the tower

Bells will chime

Clear and true

One final time



I’m a thousand tornados

Screamin’ cross the plains

I’m Gabriel’s Horn

On Judgment Day

I’m months of darkness

I’m years of rain

God’s branding iron

Bears my name



I’m making a list

And checking it twice

You name the place

I name the price

If you’re feelin’ lucky

Then hold your breath

And wave goodbye

When nothing’s left



Parked down the street

From the convenience store

I been keepin’ a secret

I won’t keep anymore

I’m months of darkness

I’m years of rain

God’s branding iron

Bears my name
