I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death
And I will not fear any harm, because I am blind to all this
My mind and my gun comfort me
Because I know I will kill my enemies when they come

Certainly, goodness and mercy will accompany me every day of my life
And I will dwell this land forever
I walk by the quiet waters and they restore my soul
But I can’t walk the way, because I’m wrong

Well, I came across a man at the top of a hill
He calls himself the Savior of the Human Race
Said it came to save the world from destruction and pain
But I said: How can you save the world from yourself?

Because I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death
And I won’t fear any harm, because I’m blind
I walk by the quiet waters and they restore my soul
But I know that when I die my soul will be condemned.
