Samson

I'm a longhaired freak
With a weakness for women
I drink I curse I laugh

I fanned the flames
And kindled the hate
By killing their men and their pride

[break]

I was a god
I had my image
As one who was born of the sun

I am no hero
Fuck their faith
I only wanted their praise

[chorus]
With the jawbone of an ass
I made an ass of them
With the jawbone of an ass
I have killed a thousand men
Out of the eater
Something to eat
Out of the strong
Something sweet

For my pride
They took my hair
As that bitch Delilah laughed in my face

They cut out my eyes
And scourged my flesh
A shadow of the man I was

[chorus]

I slaughtered them
I spit and mocked
Left them for dead for burning my bride

Father-in-law too
Burned for my riddle
Ashes left as the Alter of the Nazarene

[chorus]

I fell from grace
And landed hard
For breaking my oath to my god

Till I gave
My hide to her
Just trying to slake my lust

[chorus]

God
I am sorry I
Cut my hair please
Give me my strength to
Kill them for what they've
Done let me kill them please
Let me kill them please
Let me kill

[break]

So I'll pull the pillars
And break the temple
To give back to my vengeful god

I'll serve him
By serving myself
Over and over again

I am a hero
Murder paves my way
Right up to the pearly gates
