Down on hell's half acre



She wrote me a letter and said what have they done

Placed a crown of thorns an this native son

Oh, maybe they're right, but maybe they're wrong

But what can i do, you're not here you're gone



Something in the air is much too quiet

Hear my heartbeat

The storms that rages from within

Three times thunder, blood runs cold

Got this wound on my soul



Down on hell's half acre

Walking on fire

We got trouble in the wasteland

Down on hell's half acre



Back in the land where buffalo roam

Oh is this my home

She said you've changed, you're not the same

Clouds of napalm and the opium

The damage was already done



Down on hell's half acre

Shakin' with fever

Rumble in the jungle

Down on hell's half acre



Down on hell's half acre

Walking on fire

We got trouble in the wasteland

Down on hell's half acre
