Please don't light a candle for me
There's no way to illuminate
This darkness that's been creeping on me
It only seems to frustrate
Please don't cry a tear for me

I am not worth your salt
I'm a jilted master of destiny
So this hell is all my fault
Please don't ache from the treachery
I am an ignorant fool
Full of caked on misery

Yeah, I'm a whiskey loving tool
The avalanche that's closing on me
Comes from my flesh per pound
So, Nero my friend, play me one more time
While my Rome burns to the ground
(I wanna watch it burn)
