Spartan's Prayer
In the darkness where shadows dwell
there i lay dreaming of some private hell
i think i pray when the silence comes
asking for forgiveness for what must be done....
while i dream my heart begins to break
i ask the Lord my soul to take
because very soon now the light will be gone
and what is to come will be done...
when i wake i will see
what has come to slaughter me
then i will die and come back again
a man born of regret and sin
