So this is what its come to
two men staring each other down
each poised to take the others life
strangely they both seem so calm

on one side is a wild boy
brash and temperamental
his lifestyle has borne many enemies
he hates the idea of hurting others
but he must protect those he loves

on the other is a cold man
calculating and decisive
his soul let the darkness take hold
he hates that hes numb to hurting others
but he must protect those he loves

neither has ever backed down
both fight for more than themselves
i have a final choice to make
only one man can walk away

so this is what its come to
barrel trained on my enemy
fearful eyes in their final moments
i must protect those i love
and strangely i feel so calm
