Lyrics

Step on up to the counter boy

Invitation to approach the counter for a thrilling experience

Buy yourself a thrill

Encouragement to purchase excitement or pleasure

Shake it out with the deepest breath

Relieving stress with a deep breath

As you kneel over your first kill

Reflecting on the act of taking a life for the first time

God is your protector, he keep you safe and warm

Belief in God as a protector

The funeral director got the contract when you were born

Funeral director having a contract since birth, implying mortality


Come on my way, we got the warmest fire

Invitation to follow a path with warmth, fire, and divine intervention

Come on my way, I'll find your there

-

Come on my way, we got the flying higher

-

When on my way, I'll take your prayer

-

We got our religion, we got everything to ease the pain

Embracing a religious or spiritual belief to alleviate pain and shame

We want retribution, we want everything to ease the shame

-

No victory in vain

Emphasis on achieving victory without it being in vain


Listen close going to say it one

Encouragement to live a righteous life, with a promise of support until death

You need to get you right

-

Use the gifts you were given boy

-

Keep the end in sight

-

Walk it narrow, walk it clean

-

Then to the sky and fly

-

I'm the breath that will fill your lungs

-

Until the day you die

-

Come on my way, we got the warmest fire

Reiteration of the inviting path with warmth, fire, and divine connection

Come on my way, I'll find your there

-

Come on my way, we got the flying higher

-

When on my way, I'll take your prayer

-

We got our religion, we got everything to ease the pain

Reliance on religion for solace and seeking retribution for shame

We want retribution, we want everything to ease the shame

-

No victory in vain

Stressing the importance of victories that are not in vain


Start living, start dying

Encouraging to start living, dying, praying, and flying

Start praying, start flying

-

(x2)

-

Pinning the face to the floor, slamming and locking the door

Describing a forceful action, possibly symbolizing control or dominance


Start living, start dying

Reiteration of the call to start living, dying, praying, and flying

Start praying, start flying

-

(x2)

-

Holding the face to the ground

Depicting a radical change, turning the world upside down

Turning the world upside down

-

Come on my way, we got the warmest fire

Repetition of the inviting path with warmth, fire, and divine connection

Come on my way, I'll find your there

-

Come on my way, we got the flying higher

-

When on my way, I'll take your prayer

-

We got our religion, we got everything to ease the pain

Emphasizing reliance on religion and seeking retribution for shame

We want retribution, we want everything to ease the shame

-

No victory in vain

Reiteration that victories should not be in vain
