Curse of a Coward


He turned his head And walked away And lived to die another day And as he lay awake in bed His thoughts wreaked havoc in his head The ghosts of what he didn't do Were stronger than he ever knew Regrets he never knew he had Became enough to drive him mad The actions that he didn't take And choices he refused to make And all the things he didn't say Will hunt him till his dying day 'Cause sinners are as sinners do But what they don't defines them to So for the first time in his life The coward's fear was justified
