Killing like the animal I am
Without flinching I take aim
No need to support the weight of my finger
As I turn around and walk away
With a grin I wonder
If he heard a noise before the light went out

I can look into your eyes
See all that you hide
All you have left to do
Is hope I have mercy for you
A lost cause

A notch on a handle  
Is what you have become
A distant memory of what I have done
No matter how it begun
You will stare at the wrong end of my gun

A man once asked me if I felt pain
As my heart pumped ice thru my veins
I looked him strait in the eyes
And told him about the warm feeling inside
When people like him die

Tonight I cannot sleep
For reasons hidden in the deep
Questioning my existence, my essence
Wondering why I’m so merciless

Ever since I plunged my life into the dark
I have live without my heart
So many things I have seen fall apart
In my demise I put my feelings away

Something is different now
I can’t seem to take you down
In your eyes I see myself
In your fear I feel at home
In your pain you’re not alone

I can’t bear do this again
See another life come to its end
I drop the gun and let you run

Like a shiny ticket to hell
My gun sat on the floor
I wondered if I was ready to walk thru that door
Was Satan’s puppet ready to go home?

Now with closer I know they all went out in silence
