Empty Pleads and Promises

How did I ever land such beauty? Taken account for the times we've had All the chances we lost lie in her presence With your pity at my mercy I beseech you "I've disgraced my already cursed life of love and death I've fallen to my knees and bled in front of you You shed not one tear and gave not one condolence But for the sake of my clear conscience Please forgive me for all I have done For if in any way I have hurt you or humiliated you I am deeply discouraged to continue pumping blood" No more hope in sight I wish we could've been more All I've fought for in vain You selfish little whore No more empty fright No more lost souls in my way And now I'm one among the dead God save yourself She's joining one of you
