[00:29.47]We woke up as men but tonight we'll sleep as killers,
[00:34.29]As we break the cryptic morning with a bullet and a prayer.
[00:37.69]The steel never seemed more cold and agile than now,
[00:40.45]And life never seems less vital and fragile.
[00:49.08]With a heart that's beating louder than my own,
[00:53.44]I watch a girl they call Kezia.
[00:56.65]I watch a woman that I know,
[01:00.47]My hopes and my own future blindfolded.
[01:04.84]To atone for a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts.
[01:12.57]A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes.
[01:26.09]And no one ever said that hope would be so beautiful.
[01:33.16]And no one ever said I'd have to pull the trigger on her.
[01:47.74]I can't even still her trembling hands
[01:52.43]That were locked up by the dutiful and the obligated.
[02:48.16]Five soldiers forever sedated with the, "No one's responsible"
[02:58.54]Psychological drama of our social justice dribble, dribble, dribble.
[03:11.32]Her tiny steps tell lies about the choice I have to make;
[03:18.66](Resurrect a static lifetime starve to death my own mistakes)
[03:26.70]Pull the screaming trigger and watch your carcass bleed me dry,
[03:37.72]Or drop the gun and try to shake away the blindfold from your eyes?
[03:50.31]Drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun.
[04:17.37]Sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts.
[04:23.60]A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes.
[04:30.19]Sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts.
[04:36.00]A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes.
