===Cage the Elephant: Ain't no Rest for the Wicked=== I was walking through the Hive<br> When out the corner of my eye<br> I saw a filthy teenage girl approaching me.<br> She said sir can you spare a Throne<br> For a girl all alone <br> Perhaps I'd keep you company?<br> I looked into her eyes<br> And saw the sin of vice<br> I knew the Dark Gods held her in their sway<br> Offering Prayer to the Emperor, <br> I raised and aimed by Hecutor<br> And swiftly put a bullet in her head. <br> Oh, There ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Salvation doesn't come for free,<br> I got fiends to slay, <br> I got men to save, <br> I must strive to bring His Grace to me<br> I know I can't lose Faith,<br> I can't give in,<br> Though sometimes I fear I could,<br> Oh there ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Until we give our lives for Good. <br> As I continued through the hive<br> I go walking past a bar<br> When a man clad just in paint burst out the door<br> And then he looked at me and screamed<br> Swung an axe right at my neck,<br> I saw no reason or thought behind his eyes<br> I barely dodged the attack <br> And knew that I had to fight back<br> So I steeled myself and drew my gun to fight<br> I racked my boltgun with a click<br> And blew apart the heretic<br> And stood over his corpse right in the street. <br> Oh, There ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Salvation doesn't come for free,<br> I got fiends to slay, <br> I got men to save, <br> I must strive to bring His Grace to me<br> I know I can't lose Faith,<br> I can't give in,<br> Though sometimes I fear I could,<br> Oh there ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Until we give our lives for Good. <br> Now, much later in the day<br> I went to rest in my own hab,<br> And watched the pict-vid to find out the latest news<br> I was listening to reports<br> About rebellions all around<br> And felt a fire stirring deep inside my heart<br> There are enemies without<br> and there are enemies within, <br> It's up to us to defend our Imperium<br> So I urge all mankind to fight<br> For what we know deep down is right<br> The sacred glory of the God Emperor of Man!<br> Oh, There ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Salvation doesn't come for free,<br> We got fiends to slay, <br> We got men to save, <br> We must strive to each live Faithfully<br> Oh no<br> We can't give in,<br> We can't have doubt,<br> If we want to survive these times. <br> Oh there ain't no rest for the Righteous,<br> Until we give our lives for Good. <br>
