Verse 1
D 
My son,
it's important to remember people
when they're gone.
One can set aside an hour or two for them.
Oh, the red and purple men
were rivals at court.
The red one thought of life
as a violent sport.
Not where the losing guy
deserves to die, die, die, die,
die, die, die, die, die.
So he hired an assassin to do the deed,
But an honest man can't be
killed for greed,
Heaven does not like preemptive
strike, strike, strike, strike, strike, strike,
strike, strike, strike.
But the killer had an order
that he would not dare disobey,
So he found an oak tree
where he could bash his head,
And now he's dead, dead, dead,
dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
