A Foe Lyrics

I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID
BUT NOW THAT IT TAKES PLACE
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT IT ENDS UP THIS WAY

IT'S THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
IT'S THAT GRIN ON YOUR FACE
MAKES IT PAINFULLY CLEAR
THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE TO PLAY

AND HOW CAN I BE SURE
THAT IT IS UNDESERVED?
'CAUSE THIS LIFE IS SO CRUEL
WITH ITS CROWN AND ITS NAILS

AND THE TIME FLOWS SO SLOW
AS IT SLIPS OFF MY HANDS
IT'S MY BLOOD ON THE GROUND
SAYS THE VOICE IN MY HEAD

AND I THINK I COULD CRY
AND I THINK I COULD BEG
BUT THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST
SO I SIT DOWN INSTEAD

WHEN THE REEL WEARS TOO THIN
TO CONTAIN ALL THE SHAME
WE WILL RIDE ON THE CART
TO MY GRUESOME END
