He
His stare was stark
We'd never know what behind his eyes
We'd never know what in his deepest mind
He looked up,
His tears fell down
The red rose tattoo in his right arm
With the scorpion one in his left could not cover his downfall feelings
We know he's tired
We can see it from his eyes
He used to be tough, he used to be strong
Now,
He fades his spirit away
Just don't give, you can't give up
Father!
