Ultimatum

The rebel is brave And will conquer any fear He crawls close to his grave He brings it near Then jumps back with a laugh And blinks a lonely tear He lights a smoke And inhales life But exhales death In every breath He lives everyday like it’s his last No cares for the future No remembrance of the past The rebel has his good times Spent mostly with the boys But there is one That stands above the rest The one that gives him meaning And puts a beat in his chest He receives the decision Grow up or die He feels his heart curl And a tear falls from his eye The rebel dies For the love of the girl
