Lyrics
I died in the street with some vagrant disciples,
I stepped on the back of a Copperhead Snake,
I's raised from the dead by the quick Hand of Glory,
Baptized and branded in a fiery lake the last thing I remember, they was standing over me and they said
IN PACE REQUIESCAT
I walked in the heat of a Lush, verdant garden
I lied in the shade of some apple tree
I almost got away with sampling logic,
but how waz I to know
they waz watchin me
the last thing I remember they waz
throwin dirt in on me and they said
IN PACE REQUIESCAT
I swam in a sea of green eyed glances,
I swam in a sea of lubricity,
I almost got away with sampling sweet madness,
but how was I to know they waz watchin me,
The last thing I remember they waz sayin prayers over me and they said,
IN PACE REQUIESCAT
de profundis
I flew in the sky with pennies and diamonds,
I fell from the clouds on black leaden wings,
I soared through the stars with sinister notions,
But how waz I to know they waz keepin an eye on things,
The last thing I remember they waz standing over me and they said
IN PACE REQUIESCAT
ego non baptizo te in nomine patris sed in nomine diaboli
