  • Here I lie, I'm staring at
    Clouds and shapes of dogs and cats
    I hear a woman, start to yell
    "Oh dear God, I think he fell"

    I'm the arrow shot straight to hell
    From the bow of William Tell
    My body lies kissing the ground
    Like a cross turned upside down

    A priest is rushing to my side
    Begins to read me, my last rites
    Father, you're too late, my faith is weak
    So won't you save your half-hearted speech

    I'm the arrow shot straight to hell
    From the bow of William Tell
    My body lies kissing the ground
    Like a cross turned upside down

    A man bends down and says
    "Son, we're going to get through this one
    Take my hand and let us pray"
    I scream, "Please get the fuck away"

    I'm the arrow shot straight to hell
    From the bow of William Tell
    My body lies kissing the ground
    Like a cross turned upside down

    The ambulance is singing
    As cops push back the crowd
    I start to take my last breath
    As blood pours out my mouth

    The medics walk in my way
    I think this could be it
    I hear 'em start to state
    The time of death is half past six

    I'm the arrow shot straight to hell
    I'm the arrow shot straight to hell Writer/s: DANIEL GERARD TRAPP, GARRETT MICHAEL ZABLOCKI, HEATH MATTHEW SARACENO, JAMES ANTHONY BUDDY NIELSEN, MICHAEL JOHN GLITA
