All these people
Gathering around me
When I want to be alone
They leer and chant
And call for my head
They will not stop
Till they get what they want
And I fear that is me dead
I let this happen
On that night
So very long ago
When it was just you and I
And her and him and them and you
My mind races into the light
To take one last chance
To save it all
I must give up
And surrender to what I know
And defend what I dont
You called out to me
Louder as I fell
And stood back up
The feeling came back again
I could not shake it
It was stuck this time
I was rid of it once
I think it wants more
To hurt and hurt me
Till I cannot stand
And I must fall to me knees
I cannot fear this single thing
But you will come back... again
The clock shall sound
At the hour of my death
All shall hear it this time
Where none have before.
