I shot an angel with my father's rifle I should have set it free,but I let it bleed Made it into taxidermy,hung it on my wall I shot an angel,kept it in my backyard hung it out to dry on the clothing line Pinned above my bed like the cross of jesus christ on my wall And I know one day hell will catch up with me And I'm sure that I will burn eternally One day it will come to claim its pound of flesh When it's done,there won't be anything left I shot an angel,dragged it to my basement Starved it till it died and I did not cry Sickness of poacher's pride
