2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

"Off with His Head," composed and orchestrated by Jack Conte
Lyrics:

Off with his head, it's all for the best,
my eyes hang down with sorrow.
I moan and bellow for lost tomorrows,
gone away.

Off with his head, you lose what you bet.
Your will reigns down with terror,
oh feel the horror, oh see the fury
upon us all.

Lie in the sun - I keep my guard on --
cuz nothing ever comes when you expect.
Shoot all our guns, let's kill off our sons!
We've too much time,
and too much life,
too many precious days.

Off with his head, it's all for the best.
Your will reigns down with terror,
oh feel the horror, oh see the fury
upon us all.

Lie in the sun - I keep my guard on --
cuz nothing ever comes when you expect.
Shoot all our guns, let's kill off our sons!
We've too much time,
and too much life,
too many precious days.

Off with his head, it's all for the best,
my eyes hang down with sorrow.
I moan and bellow for lost tomorrows,
gone away.

JACK!

Here I was on Amazon, ready to order VS4, your book of awesome, and imagine my horror and despair when I figure out that it can't be shipped to my country. : <

Broke my heart.

[jackcontemusic]

[MegaCoconauta]

@carsondm Lol, I was actually trolling.

[carsondm]

@MegaCoconauta Please, stop making Christians look bad. Comments like this aren't going to change anyone's mind. The only thing it will do is make us look foolish. Also, how do God and Jesus relate to this at all? oh look, 1,666 likes and 14 dislikes. God must not like this song.

@MegaCoconauta im an athiest and love this song

[bundallapa3]

Jack Conte is God. Jesus does not exist.

[MegaCoconauta]

14 people don't believe in god. Thumbs up if Jesus is our savior.

[skrie]

[dimsummusubi]

At 2:14, I had the screen minimized because I was writing an essay, so I thought the sound was coming from outside (darnit, headphones, you've done it again) xD

Great song, by the way! :D
