[Verse 1]

I know where the bodies are, I buried them myself

I'm coming down from off the hill to terminate your health

I am not a peaceful man when lightning leaps up from my hand

Something in your smiling eyes says all you gotta do is rise


[Verse 2]

I am not a peaceful man, but sometimes when I take your hand

The natural urge, it does subside, for plunder, rape and genocide

I'm not one to compromise on the truth, the beauty, the ruined prize

Look into your smiling eyes, 'cause all I wanna do is rise


[Verse 3]

I am a lizard in the sun, with hooded eyes and belly warm

I move down through the blackened fields, the ocean wide as silver shield

Hold me, darling in your arms, and stay here 'til the morning comes

Look into your smiling eyes and all I gotta do is rise
