Vertrag

He sat alone, his mind racing

He tried to keep his thoughts away from his life

If he'd have known of the cost of living

He would have gladly traded steps for a knife

He was the fallen, he was the beaten

He'd given everything for no happy end

He prayed for death when I found him alone

And he cried for a way, "God, bring me my escape"

Instead, a shadow laughed, and hissed his name

"I'm not your savior, but I feel your pain"

"Sign your name, and I'll take it away" (One of us)
