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
