Life draws us so close to the knife

Each step waits in chance

The fire surrounds every decision

Each movement an intricate dance

What love can’t give you

Friends make up in touch

I’ve wanted peace in so many ways

But lost that feeling so much

When I die please forgive the pain

For I have nothing to lose, nothing to gain

Twist the knife and be a friend

You’ve left me to my tragic end

The blood now streams down my face

Your betrayal and lies I can’t erase

Pick up the gun and play your part

You’ve stolen my spirit and my heart

Winter breaks the quiet dawn

Danger has come and safety is gone

The moon looks on in silent trance

The sword strikes in mystic dance

Eyes of truth have yet to be seen

Like royalty I’ve lost my queen

I can’t erase what I’ve done

Confusion surrounds the shining sun

I take on the final look and glance

As I take part in deaths dance

The light strikes twice and makes me glow

Ten red roses at my final show

My dreams upon the falling star

Crash quietly and yet so far

Hiding my pain behind my heart

My ignorance has taken part

Dreams fade into silent pain

I have nothing to lose nothing to gain

Chains confine me to the wall

I’m over the edge ready to fall

You’ve used me for the final time

Your neglect of humanity has been a crime

I needed a hero in my time of need

I lost my freedom and didn’t succeed

Just when life couldn’t be any worse

Your binding lies left me with a curse
