[Passage 01: Pious Paul]
fuck with me I'll beat that ass with a hanger
you'll have to forgive me now cus' I've been living in anger
I will introduce myself as Tank Diggs the strangler
the mic mangler, noose tie-er, the dangler
you're all in danger verse re-arranger
I guess you weren't taught not to go talk to strangers
but they don't get stranger than Diggs or Kabal
get ready for the fall above all
I’ll hold your feet to the fire
burn like a funeral pyre
while I collect all that I desire
my empires empowered enemies devoured
it's best to go run and hide with all the other cowards
cus' I'm in power and its getting to my head
I think I'm seeing red instead
I’ll sit on my thrown for which I'm born and bred
and they'll know that I was here now
by the trail of the dead

[Sermon]
So put em' in the wall
Or put em' in the ground
They didn't see it coming
All they heard was that sound
So clasp your hands and bow your head
This is not a comfort for the living its a prayer for the dead
The news you heard was one you dread
This is not a comfort for the living its a prayer for the dead

[Passage 02: Eurynomos]
A prayer for the dead, without a doubt I’m giving
Declare a head cus’ I don’t give a fuck about the living
Duck the grey lead or hear them nerve cells singing
Fuck what Dre said I keep them church bells ringing
A minister of darkness had me ordained
The orders that he barked: “to go and bring forth pain”
Siphoned like a jerrycan I see your life force drained
It got me like the Tar Man I need to bite “more brains”
We High Priests and you be nothing but alter boys
We got them fly beats you coming with falter noise
Exit a cloud made of smoke, I’m holding all the spoils
Step in the house of the Lord & holy water boils
It’s two minutes to midnight (midnight)
& you admit it doesn’t feel right (feel right)
With the layers that we read
forget the players that we bled
Another prayer for the dead because we kill mics

[Sermon]

Go clasp your hands and bow your head
This is not a comfort for the living its a prayer for the dead
The news you heard was one you dread
This is not a comfort for the living its a prayer for the dead
