Lucre Lyrics

Album: Lucre

Starts with a boom

Thunder clap in the sky

I keep my eyes peeled

Brother by my side

We shoot to kill

Not for pride or for thrill

No head on a plate

Just to live another day

On a mission for gold

to buy back our souls

Hit the bank, rob it clean

By night no one sees

Yes we shoot to kill

Not for pride or for thrill

No head on a stake

Just to live another day

--

We ride tonight

We flee this place

Drop out of this world

Disappear, leave no trace

Our chests are filled

The deed is done

Now heavy the horse

We leave and ride on

--

The first light of dawn

Breaks as we crest the hill

Up ahead is our hideout

But the air feels too still

We shoot to kill

Not for pride or for thrill

No head on a plate

Just to live another day

Out rides the Law

One dozen men strong

my brother shouts loud

“Their death, our ground.”

Because we shoot to kill

Not for pride or for thrill

No head on a plate

Just to live another day
