Killer's Prayer

Another day another life another hero to depart Another dagger in the heart another player plays his part Rest assured that every word unsaid means nothing in the end All the time and all the crimes and all the bones that you had bent You search thumb through the chapters of your life and found the others fended for themselves If blood brings the answers to the questions that you ask yourself then you'd best ask someone else No one ever sings the song about the lives they'll never save No one ever praised the path that leads them to an early grave They swore you'd lose this fight, that no one ever plays the roles they write But now you're standing on their graves and waiting for the fading light You thumb through the chapters of your life and found the others fended for themselves If blood brings the answers to the questions that you ask yourself then you'd best ask someone else And in the water I can see Haggard reflections of a man I tried to be Every decision that I made A nail in coffins of the lives I've laid to rest I'm sorry
