Verse 1

We woke up as men but

tonight we'll sleep as killers

As we break the cryptic

morning with a bullet

and a prayer The steel never seemed

more cold and agile than now

And life never seems less vital

and fragile With a heart

G#m--C#m--G#m--Ebm--

Chorus

with a heart

that's beating louder

than my own I watch a

woman they call Kezia I watch a

woman that I know I watch my

hopes and my own

future blindfolded

To atone for a sin I didn't care

for, but a sin that paid my debts A

sin that fed my children and

burned my smiles and

Verse 2

And no one ever said that hope

would be so beautiful And no

one ever said I'd have to

pull the trigger on her

Verse 3

Five soldiers forever sedated

with the "No one's responsible" psychological drama

of our social justice dribble

Her tiny steps tell

lies about the choice I have to make Resurrect a

static lifetime starve to death my own

mistakes Pull the screaming trigger and watch your

carcass bleed me dry Or drop the gun and try to

shake away the blindfold from your eyes? Drop the

gun, drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun
