There’s no hope left for me, my guilt was built to last
Despair the only destiny, avoided by living fast

Battled through hell, I’ve suffered long
You could not tell what had gone wrong

I would not take this chance again
No, I would not take this chance again

Prayed to God to keep me safe, but I’m one sinner he can’t forgive
Tears of captivity suffocate, I’ve no need to relive

Actions made in self-defence
Was betrayed by my innocence

Burning rubble, a scream in trouble, followed as best I could Bandits plundered, rescue men blundered, did I leave before I should?
Before I should

Therapist saw I was low, said not to carry the blame
No matter how often I’d go, would still feel the same

So I quit the talking for the drink
Now hordes are flocking to watch me sink
