Six Feet Under Lyrics
We are your shield, the line in the sand
We take your bullets and we make your stand
A scattershot payment
For each and every sin
Through storms of lead
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
We’re mice and men and might-have-beens
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
Nobody knows the trouble we’ve been
Or if we'll ever get back again
A scattershot prayer
'God save us' and Amen
Through storms of lead
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
We’re mice and men and might-have-beens
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
Through storms of lead
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
We’re mice and men and might-have-beens
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
Mice and men
Six feet under
The bastard sons brought home again
Six feet under
We take your bullets and we make your stand
A scattershot payment
For each and every sin
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
Or if we'll ever get back again
A scattershot prayer
'God save us' and Amen
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
We’ve screamed and bled
'Don’t tread on me' she said
We’re all unclean
From all I’ve seen
Oh God wash this from my dreams!
Our heavy hearts beating like thunder
The bastard sons brought home again
Our heartbeats still we’re six feet under
Six feet under
The bastard sons brought home again
Six feet under

such a large, yet amazing change in sound by The Showdown!
Not as Heavy as their first CD, but i think it sounds so much cleaner and better.
The unknown lines are "Were mice and men and might have beens"
come on dudes, its not super cool to use bastard in songs if youre a christain band. it makes me upset like dude. why would you do that. its a shame cuz the vocals are so good
"bastard son" means a son born out of wedlock... a girl can be called a bastard, too(although no one has ever called me one rofl)... but that line is actually taken out of the Bible... somewhere in Isaiah.. i forgot... but yeah.. The guys on Anvil and the Hammer Podcast explain it better than I do (if you like The Showdown you have to get The Anvil and the Hammer podcast) This is my FAVORITE song by The Showdown.. it's my ringtone lol...I reckon they sound better on Temptation Come My Way than their other albums... i can understand how you were upset that they said "bastard" because we've turned it into a swear word but it was in the Bible....
