Halfglass Full of Poison
Sigmun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm bleeding from my head
Gulping a glass of lead
Ten thousand men strong
Can't differ right or wrong
I'm spinning like a hurricane
I think I'm going insane
Heart beating in Morse code
Bomb's about to explode

Just burn, burn, burn them down

Is that a dead man in my bed?
Is that raw meat in my bread?
I'm seeing in different color
As the room is getting smaller
Oh they're laughing at my suffering
I'm strangled by these strings





Just burn, burn, burn them down
