“Coffin For The Nail” – Heavy Western Music Video Out Now

“Coffin For The Nail” is from the Heathen Apostles’ seventh album “The In Between” (Ratchet Blade Records). The heavy western music video features co-lead vocals from lead singer Mather Louth and guitarist/mandolinist Chopper Franklin, as well as clips from “The Wolf of Wall Street” (1929), “A Corner in Wheat” (1909) and “Birth of a Nation” (1915) (all Public Domain).

Mather Louth: “This video is a risk. The source footage within it is incredibly unsettling and uncomfortable to view. But, we need to face history and where we’ve come from (and sadly, where we are again.) We want to make it clear that we don’t condone the footage within it- we are holding the mirror up to the underbelly that has always been a part of this country’s history.”

Directed by the Heathen Apostles
Camera, Lighting: Robert Nelson
Makeup: Kelton Ching

COFFIN FOR THE NAIL
(Franklin)

Peace out – War in
Take the word of a K Street has-been
Big P, little O
Got down and forgot what you came for
Gold in, Black Hills
Trouble is that it’s not for sale
Goddamn, gee whiz
Is that what honor is?

R – you ready for the feast?
I – got a belly full of beast
P – like the guts in a pail
Got a smoke for the hole and a coffin for the nail

Your shame, straight from the mouth
So proud but your tongue’s stickin’ out
Gotcha paid like any other day
But the people are about to go crazy
Strict Daddy, where ya been?
How long ‘til the fire burns in
Tell me, Daddy, where will we go
When the fire glows?

(break)
Good god, straight from madness
Comin’ ‘round, lickin’ on sadness
Hate pigs, tryin’ their damnedest
Trickle down, but it’s always so late
Crowd so bound, always fallin’ for hate
