I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 00:37

And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all 00:45

And my mind and my gun they comfort me 00:54

Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come 01:02

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life 01:11

And I will dwell on this earth forevermore 01:20

Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul 01:29

But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong 01:38

Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill 01:47

Called himself the savior of the human race 01:55

Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain 02:03

But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?" 02:11

'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 02:52

Lyrics:

[English]

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all

And my mind and my gun they comfort me

Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell on this earth forevermore

Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul

But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong

Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill

Called himself the savior of the human race

Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain

But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?"

...

'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

And I fear no evil because I'm blind

Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul

But I know when I die my soul is damned
