This Is the Hill (But I Ain't Dying) (LIVE!! Encore 2)

"How 'bout another story where my stupid bullshit came back to fuckin' bite me on my goddamn ass?!!" [Verse] Ulthar. Midnight. Claymore’s hummin’. Skulls in the dirt and I know what’s comin’. Cracked graves twitchin’. Yeah—let’s go. Another boneyard brawl. Same old show. First bastard lunges—I split ‘em wide. Ribs like drums when the fuckers collide. Jawbones clatter, hand still strong Feels good, this battle won't last long. [Verse] Then the cracks all scream and the tombs all yawn, And they pour like rats puking their filthy spawn. Clickin’ and clackin’, a thousand deep Can’t swing fast enough to snap their shriek So I haul ass up the shattered slabs, Fist on stone and sword in jabs. They climb like maggots, clingin' tight To the rotting mound where I turn and fight. [Chorus] This is the hill, where I make my stand Black spit in my mouth, sword stuck in my hand Where mercy crawled off and choked in the mud I’ll fight till the world gives in, soaked in blood This is the hill, where the dead still scream Chewin’ on grit and a fading dream Where ash rains down from a furnace sky 'n This is the hill... but I ain’t dyin' [Verse] I’m hackin’ down heaps on this busted crown, Each swing wide just to keep ‘em down. Bones snap loud but their numbers swell, I’m swingin’ through storms like a fist from hell. The dirt starts twitchin’ under my tread, And the sky turns red like the world just bled. I’m knee-deep in shards, and gnashin’ jaws When the void starts punchin’ through the cosmic gauze. [Bridge] A fuckin' torso climbs the horizon, Head lost in flickering star-shit. Each step rends the world's guts, Pukes thunder, and slops miles of bile It’s comin’ for me. There ain’t no doubt. I freeze... Then a blade rips through my vest. I snap back, smashing the bony bastard. So... this IS the hill where I bleed out... Sisyphus smiles as he drags his damn stone, Doomed to fail but forced to go on. Tell him I’ll meet him at the top I'll spit in his face and smash that ROCK! [Chorus] This is the hill, where I make my stand Black spit in my mouth, sword fused to my hand Where mercy crawled off and choked in the mud I’ll fight till the world gives in, soaked in blood This is the hill, where the dead still scream Chewin’ on grit and a fading dream Where ash rains down from a furnace sky 'n This is the hill... but I ain’t dyin' [Verse] It came and the towers were ground into mist, The stone gave way where its shadow kissed. Skulls crushed by the thousands, the dead swept aside, I dodged through the ruins, no place left to hide. A spire came down and the dust took my cries, I knew I was dead — but I AIN'T gonna die Climbed up its spine like a rotted stair, Each breath a scream in the burning air. I saw the stars from a mile too high, And then it flung me back like a fuckin' fly... Cracked the ground and tasted mud. Sucked in grit and spit out blood. This is the hill... I can't move my hand... This is the hill.. Can I make my stand? This is the hill... There's no use cryin' This is the hill... but I fuckin' ain’t dyin' [Verse] I could’ve stayed down, swallowed by rot But I still had hate, and that's a lot. All right, Sisyphus, let’s fuckin’ climb, What’s three more miles through smoke and grime? The bastard still twitched, all scorched and split, Each foothold slick with curs-ed shit. My veins were knives, my breath all ash Every limb shrieked at every grasp. [Verse] When I reached the top and pissed in its gaze, I plunged my black claymore right through its face. It wailed like a god got torn in half While I held on tight with a shrieking laugh. We hit like thunder, tore the land wide, I bounced, I bled, knew I fuckin' died. But I dragged myself up, claw by claw, No sword, half-blind, guts splayed raw. [Chorus] This is the hill, where I made my stand Black spit in my mouth, no sword in my hand Where mercy crawled off and choked in the mud I fought till the world gave in, soaked in blood This is the hill, where the dead still scream Chewin’ on grit and a fading dream Where ash rains on me from a furnace sky This is the hill... and now I gotta die [Outro] Skeletons circled, bone blades raised, But I just laughed, half-dazed, unfazed. Collectin' my guts, no sword, no prayer, Crawlin’ on knuckles through greasy air. Then... One scream split the shit-thick sky, Fuckin' Dookie’s voice, sharp and high. I spat the blood from off my face And smiled... fuckin' just in case! "Woo! Killin' a fuckin' god really takes it out of a girl!"
