The Last Heartbeat

The Last Heartbeat

Just comes, a shadow from your light  burning my wanted desire
I am wanted man, like a gangster, my photo on the wall of a tavern
There is a bounty on my life, your love is the fine, and I can’t pay the price

My credit is my pure desire, running out my life, my card is expired
What can I do? Life knocked down me by your hoped diamond love
Nobody wants to put me in prison, my cell is empty, that’s your home

Oh, be my housekeeper, be my chambermaid, fill with you my empty life
My life is your room, live there, set up my bed, a corpse sleeping there
I was hoping you could take off your dagger, and sleep in my bed in my cell, 
and dream and relax

Kill

In the Last Heartbeat of a Love
