 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
 Gm--C#m--G#m--Ebm--
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

 would be  so beautiful  And no

 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
