Branding Iron

[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
