|
They read him like an open book |
|
But the pages were blank |
|
Before he took the first step |
|
In a new direction |
|
Empty head, imperfection |
|
Second step still humble |
|
Without eyes the hands fumble |
|
Like his feet that wear no skin |
|
A naked man, man of sin |
|
Three steps that hurt like hell |
|
How did he get here |
|
And where will he dwell |
|
With bloody feet and an empty head |
|
Wish he could say |
|
What cannot be said |
|
As the fourth step was taken |
|
Ethics were shaken |
|
And the end result: |
|
Sanity forsaken |
|
No more fumble, no longer humble |
|
A cut of precision |
|
A part of his mission |
|
The road is blurry |
|
The mission is clear |
|
The bag is heavy |
|
His goal is near |
|
With bloody feet and an empty head |
|
Wish he could say |
|
What cannot be said |
|
Final step in the dance of the dead |
|
Last cut, last head |
