Salt the Soil
Lyrics by Timothy Montera and Denney Fischel/ Music by Denney Fischel / Performed by Sick Life
​
I will spin the rope, grind the axe, hammer the nails
I will salt the soil of your health until your heart fails
You are drawing dead, falling short, down to none
Your entire life a flickering candle, a setting sun
Hold your tongue
Take my gun
I will spike your vein, tighten your noose, poison your well
I will clip your wings, extract your soul, heaven to hell
I will peel away, the skin that hides, all of your lies
Feel the hatred, burning deep, behind my eyes
Bite your tongue
You’re the reason animals eat their young
Cut out your conniving tongue
Careless words exit your lungs
​
You undermine, all the time, question me, can't you see, your fuckin' worthless
You chose a side, you went inside, I let it slide, I despise your existence
Bite off your tongue
Here, use my gun
Cut out your poisonous tongue
I refuse to be unsung
Salt the soil of your life
Salt the soil of my life
Salt the soil of our lives
Until nothing is left alive
The living lie, the dead lay (x 4)
Go set yourself on fire
Shorten and strip your wire
Take deep breaths underwater
Be the first lamb to your slaughter
And as the living lie, the dead lay (x2)
Please set yourself on fire
You provide less than required
Vitriolic multiplier
It’s time for you to expire
Salt the soil of your life
Salt the soil of my life
You’ve salted the soil of our lives
Now nothing is left alive
