i left a message for you


lined his pockets with the Blood of a slave It will never be enough, no matter how much she gave With just one prayer, Child, you can be saved If that's your rescue, I'd rather die today If that's your love, I'd rather fight the pain Dig a tunnel to the underground And run away. Was it all in vain? Give myself another name; surely one that won't bring you shame. There is no time, it's not a game The man is there and he longs for fame, But when I turn to look, There's only me to blame.
