You came down from the sky
said you meant no harm
with your eyes upon my woman
and your feet upon my farm
and you brought the finest gun
that ever was made to kill
so we shot you in the back
put your bones upon the hill...

You came down from the sky
Said you meant no harm
With your eyes upon my woman
And your feet upon my farm
And you brought the finest gun
That ever was made to kill
So we shot you in the back
And put your bones up in the hills
Seven days and you came again
with a hundred hungry men
said, “let’s try this thing again
did you catch my name yet, friend?”
Yes, I know your name
I know your name is "Doom"
‘cause you suck out all the air
when you came into the room
and you wanted golden stones
brought down from the streams
you were laughing about a trade
like I wouldn’t know what you mean
‘cause you thought I was your fool
and you’re the better man
so I sharpened my stone tools
and I killed you once again
seven days and you came once more
like the time you came before
said, “let’s get down to the core
I think you know what I came here for”
I know why you’re here
You’ve not come to make a home
Yeah, I know why you’re here
You’ve come to suck blood from the stones
With a bible in your left hand
Your right hand holds the knife
You got me on the run
I’m hiding in the night
