The Killing Song

And I’ll pray for this
This night has taken way too long
And I’ll remember you
When you are dead and gone

Something playing on my mind
But you have to be left behind
And boy, you’ll thank me when you’re gone
What you say, it counts for none

And this is the killing song
I hope you understand
This pain you feel, it won’t last long
You never were a man
And this is the killing song
I hope you figure why
The pain you feel, it won’t last long
This is your last goodbye

This night
This place
This time
Your face
I’ll pray for it all
And as you fall
I’m here

And this is the killing song
It’s over in a blink
And this is the killing song
I’ll laugh and watch you sink.
And this is the killing song
What I say is true
Tonight I’ll sing the killing song
And I’ll sing it for you.
