I see it every night in my head
The lives I ended , the blood I shed
I see myself standing with a knife
And a woman begging me to spare her life
The woman's eyes are filled with tears
The look on her face feels like a thousand spears
I see the cruel smile on my face
A face with no sign of grace
"Spare her life " my soul cries
The cries are in vain for she always dies
I see this every night in my head
Is this my punishment for all the blood I shed?

And a woman begging me to spare her life
The woman's eyes are filled with tears
The look on her face feels like a thousand spears
I see the cruel smile on my face
A face with no sign of grace
"Spare her life " my soul cries
The cries are in vain for she always dies
I see this every night in my head
Is this my punishment for all the blood I shed?
