Cliffhanger

I remember there wereFights and screaming in the streets that nightI had to run from theInsinuations all about my lifeIt didn't matter I wasArmed and ready I was on the runUp in the mountains I've gotFood and shelter I'm a loaded gunSteal away into the hillsMy world is turningSecrecy becomes my maskMy cloak and daggerI'm not so sure that I enjoy this journeyThey've got their guns to my headI turn myself into the black of darknessThey chase their shadows insteadThat night my contactTook me to the place where the preacher livedHe gave me serumAnd he blessed my mission helped me get my gripBack to the mountains for theCodes and weapons and my boarder pass10,000 foot the rocks areSheets of ice shards of broken glassAll alone I cannot restHear them behind meThe hunt is on the chase is nearBut I start slidingI always thought this was a crystal palaceCould be my tomb insteadThree fingers cling to an icy cliffLooks like some change ahead
