Fight to the Death

On the edge looking down
You thought you could just push me around
You wanted me to leave town
You wanted me to drown
To take me under
Pull me under

I stand alone
For all it's worth
To fight back
Until my last breath
Ghastly and forlorn am I
You can't believe I'd even try
To push back
To keep from going under
Into the black
Into the deep
Into the sorrow
Into never more better tomorrows

The horizon's growing dim
Your patience is wearing thin
The wind dances on the leaves
Hate passes between
Once friends
Forever foes
And that's how the story goes

You swing the first fist,
I dodge the first blow
And with an added twist
I strike back with an avenging fists
My legs sweep under yours
Losing you're grace you fall back
Closer to the ever calling black
Your eyes widened by horror and plea
For you not to be killed by me

You lose your grip and begin to tumble
Into the dark abyss.
A thousand words fly off your lips
Saying your sorry and you want to start over
Too bad that you tried to kill me first
I already see your corpse
In the back of an hearse

A funeral march plays
Like an overbearing plague
Tears stream from my eyes
As I lean off the edge
Grabbing for your hand
Why, I'll never understand
I haul you back to the ground
Fake smiles exchanged all around
You thank me and grin
But I know you're tainted with sin

A dagger gleams behind your back
You wait for the perfect time to attack
I lean to the left
With a heavy sigh
Your dagger raises high
Which stabs into the Earth's soil
The bell's of Hell toil
A sickening melody of minors
As my eyes become venomous
At your treacherous nature

My eyes are slits as I push you
Over and off the edge
Without another pulling of dread
I smile as you slip away
Knowing these nightmares will cease
As you enter your eternal rest
I shall have everlasting peace
As I have terminated my ultimate pest.
And I shall sleep soundly know that you're dead.
And I shall no longer worry about the ground where I tread.
