"21 Bullets" lyrics
Motley Crue & Asking Alexandria Lyrics
(feat. Ice Nine Kills & From Ashes To New)
(from "The Retaliators" soundtrack)
Ooh, ah ah
Ah ah
Well an eye for an eye
A throat for a throat
A dream never dies
But sometimes it chokes
I wish you were here
To show me the way
Who would you kill
Who would you save
And now that you're gone
I've slipped off the rails
I've prayed for revenge
But I'm afraid I will fail
Because we live in a world
Where even the angels are
Retaliators, retaliators
There's blood on my hands
I see the holy father
Tasted revenge and it's as sweet as holy water
Retaliators, retaliators
I'm throwing away
All the blessings I gave her
Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
A fang for a fang
A knot on a rope
The sound of the dead
Is what gives me hope
But the blood on my tongue
And the sweat on my neck
You can't outrun
What comes for you next
And now that you're gone
I've slipped off the rails
I pray for revenge
But I'm afraid I will fail
Because we live in a world
Where even the angels are
Retaliators, retaliators
There's blood on my hands
I see the holy father
Tasted revenge and it's as sweet as holy water
Retaliators, retaliators
I'm throwing away
All the blessings I gave her
Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Retaliators, retaliators
There's blood on my hands
I see the holy father
Tasted revenge and it's as sweet as holy water
Retaliators, retaliators
I'm throwing away
All the blessings I gave her
Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Retaliators, retaliators
(Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns, twenty one daughters, twenty one sons)
There's blood on my hands
I see the holy father
Tasted revenge and it's as sweet as holy water
(Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns, twenty one daughters, twenty one sons)
Retaliators, retaliators
I'm throwing away
All the blessings I gave her
Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Ah ah
Well an eye for an eye
A throat for a throat
A dream never dies
But sometimes it chokes
I wish you were here
To show me the way
Who would you kill
Who would you save
And now that you're gone
I've slipped off the rails
I've prayed for revenge
But I'm afraid I will fail
Because we live in a world
Where even the angels are
Retaliators, retaliators
There's blood on my hands
I see the holy father
Tasted revenge and it's as sweet as holy water
Retaliators, retaliators
I'm throwing away
All the blessings I gave her
Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
A fang for a fang
A knot on a rope
The sound of the dead
Is what gives me hope
But the blood on my tongue
And the sweat on my neck
You can't outrun
What comes for you next
And now that you're gone
I've slipped off the rails

But I'm afraid I will fail
Because we live in a world

Retaliators, retaliators

Twenty one bullets
But it's not gonna save her
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
Twenty one bullets, twenty one guns
Twenty one daughters, twenty one sons
