Lyrics The Coffinshakers

The Coffinshakers

No Rest For The Wicked

Hard times are ahead of me

Through hard times I have walked

And I guess that dreams I will never see

Even death won't bring me peace

I think I've been tired all of my life

And you've already guessed that I'll never die

They say there's no rest for the wicked

And I sure have an evil eye

No rest for the wicked, no rest for me

No rest for the wicked, evil never sleep

You know I've died so many times

That I've grown tired of the church-bell's chime

The earth can't bury the sins that I've done

Though living's my only crime

Cast him aside, don't cross his path

Is what you'll hear when you ask about my name

And I guess that it's true, that I'd also kill you

And I would even do it without shame

No Rest for the Wicked, no rest for me

No Rest for the Wicked, evil never sleep
