SENSES FAIL
"The Priest And The Matador"
(Senses Fail / Buddy Nielsen)

[Instrumental intro]

Here I lie, I'm staring at
Clouds in shapes of dogs and cats
I hear a woman start to yell
"Oh, dear god, I think he fell!"

[Chorus:]
I'm the arrow shot straight to Hell from the bow of William Tell
My body lies kissing the ground like a cross turned upside down

A priest is rushing to my side
Begins to read me my last rights
"Father, you're too late, my faith is weak
So won't you save your half-hearted speech?"

[Chorus:]
I'm the arrow shot straight to Hell from the bow of William Tell
My body lies kissing the ground like a cross turned upside down

[Bridge:]
A man bends down and says, "Son
We're gonna get through this one!
Take my hand, and let us pray!"
I scream, "Please get the fuck away!"

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
I'm the arrow shot straight to Hell from the bow of William Tell
My body lies kissing the ground like a cross turned upside down

[Post-Chorus:]
The ambulance is singing as cops push back the crowd
I start to take my last breath as blood pours out my mouth
The medic's walking my way, I think this could be it
I hear him start to state, "The time of death is half past six..."

[Outro:]
I'm the arrow shot straight to Hell...
I'm the arrow shot straight to Hell...

[Instrumental Outro]
