A Price Must Paid

I hear them say, I was once a very bad and evil man
I knew of only the way's, i was taught
Now, i know only of the death, and of the blood
I, see it in my eyes, and feel it on my hands
I have never known of the pain, and of the sorrow
That i now feel from the mother's and the father's,
who, cry for their children. those of whom, i have taken
I now only laugh, and bring more pain,
To all who bring the sweet promise of gifts
I sit  here and watch, those of you who think,
only their own shall survive
I bring pain by the thousands folds
To those who buy life and sell only death,
I no longer feel for you.
I won't feel the hate you have for me!
Only the pain which you now bare.
Pain is a reward for he, that has  stolen life
I , now have the reward,
i traded their life's for.
