You’ll Have to Bury Me Twice (Remix)

They put me down in blood-wet clay, Thought the worms would take what's left away But hell don’t claim what's born of spite, I clawed back up into the night

You’ll have to bury me twice — Once for the body, once for the wrath I rose with mud across my eyes And a six-shot sermon for my path

I heard them drink, I heard ‘em cheer, He’s gone, he’s dust, ain’t comin’ near But I broke through that splintered grave, Now I’m the shadow they couldn’t shave

You’ll have to bury me twice — I ain’t done howlin’, ain’t done wrong You laid me down without last rites But your name’s still rattlin’ in my song

Ash don’t fade, it flies on wind A gun don’t care about where you’ve been I ain’t a ghost, I ain’t the past — I’m the bullet you should’ve fired last

You’ll have to bury me twice — I’m dirt, I’m fire, I’m sin reborn The grave don’t hold a man of vice, It just reminds him what to mourn
