Dark Room

I done tracked you down now
To where you hidin' out
I know you'll be comin' soon
Down the hall of this house

And when you do, when you do
I'll be here waitin' for you

I set out to catch you
And earn myself fame
But all your escapin' 
Been ruinin' my name

I chased you through mountains
Here to this dark room
Now in these shadows
You gon' meet your Lord soon

And when you do, when you do
He'll want answers from you

But that's 'tween you and Him
I'm just playin' my part
¿Quién es? ¿Quién es?
I'm a bullet in your heart

And when you die, as you do
They'll call me murderer, too
