[Verse 1]
I'm ready warden, to meet my end
To believe my soul I lend
Believe my mark upon the Earth
Goodbye my wish to walk it's girth
Hello soul, within the ground
I'll go quiet, no cry, no sound
I'm ready warden
Yes I'm ready
[Verse 2]
I never did play that well free
Put the bird in the cage, that dog on a leash
But be sure to put that dog down
Don't fear his bark, now he can't make a sound
Cause we're the wardens, and we're ready
Yeah we're the wardens, and we're ready
[Verse 3]
Well, put the man in the war and he'll k** just fine
But guilt only comes when the k**ing is defined
Grab your gun, and head to the hills, get ready
Well twelve men stood, and the judge said he
Who murdered Lil' Sadie in the first degree
He cut her down in cold blood
Now he must wear the rope, and he must wear the hood
It's heavy boys, it gets heavy
It's heavy boys, it gets heavy
[Verse 4]
I knew the price, but I couldn't pay the bill
Now my grave is the counter, and the gallow's the till
Leave me just two coins please
To pay the man at the boat, and Lucifer his fee
Just drop me warden, cause I'm ready
Yeah drop me warden, cause I'm ready
[Verse 5]
And through the hood now I draw my last breath
Blurred shapes through the hood are my last friends left
I'm sorry for all of the things I've done
Let the people cheer, d**h hammer on his drum
But no you don't got anything for free
Gonna want a way out, better follow me
A k**er's still a k**er with a gavel or not
Remember your coin sir, your feet are getting hot
You're next warden, yes you're next
Cause it's your neck warden, your neck
