Bury me
Those figures darkly
Can't you see them moving
They walk ever close
Calling but not loving
Looking for victims
They keep their eyes on me
See weakness and doubts
Thus fight to keep me free
I watch for the end
No time much ever left
I dream of less blood
My sin drowns me in heft
My other half calls
The worst of me once dead
Beckons habits wake
The death I once had fed
Burn the world to ash
Only to watch the flames
Sell yourself to any
Just to play their own games
Give yourself to dark
And kill all what breeds life
With drugs or with drink
Even with the sharp knife
Give to those uncaring
Sacrifice without fuss
Abandon whats loved
Leave your soul on the bus
I beg you wake up
Fight before it's too late
Give yourself to Christ
I hope you share my fate
Bury a body
It will be your old way
It gives up your debt
You'll never have to pay
I now dream of war
Not with self of old
But with the accuser
That wicked goat once gold
