Verse 1:

                    
At the textile plant, sixteen dead

                       
There's a hornet's nest inside my head

                  
My daughter's gone, she won't be back

                     
Behind chained doors, they burned to black

                   
Walk down the street to the convenience store

                     
I be keeping a secret in my top dresser drawer

                  
Red light flashing, siren coming loud

                   
The trap is sprung, I greet the crowd


Chorus:

                                           
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains

                             
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day

                           
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

                          
God's branding iron bares my name

                               
I'm making a list and checking it twice

                            
You name the place, I name the price

                             
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath

                             
And wave goodbye when nothing's left


Verse 2:

                 
There is no tether to hold me back

                        
There's just one answer, there's just one path

                       
There's just one reason, there's just one end

                    
There's just regret, there's just revenge

                 
Tonight the tower, the bells will chime

               
Clear and true, one final time


Chorus:

                                           
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains

                             
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day

                           
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

                          
God's branding iron bares my name

                               
I'm making a list and checking it twice

                            
You name the place, I name the price

                             
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath

                             
And wave goodbye when nothing's left

Outro:

                                      
I'm down the street from the convenience store

                                               
I've been keeping a secret I don't wanna keep anymore

                           
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain

                          
God's branding iron bares my name


Peace and hope you enjoy!
