Don't show me no mercy, bury me deep
I ain't goin' easy to that long dark sleep
Lose myself in passion falling into love
I'm g**damn sure too much ain't enough
So take it to the limit
Rock it from both ends
Put yourself right in it
Before the hammer falls
From the cradle to the grave
You don't need no hiding place
The day you're born, 'til the day you die
You won't have long to wait
From the cradle to the grave
Walking down the middle, dancin' on the edge
It's the thrill o' the kill, the wicked never rest
Step across the line, breakin' all the rules
A slow man's a no man, and a no man's a fool
Never say goodbye
Hang on to the thunder
Hang on for your life
From the cradle to the grave
You don't need no hiding place
The day you're born, 'til the day you die
You won't have long to wait
From the cradle to the grave
