The Hitman’s Heel

No one knows the future

How the world will turn

Life is but a mirror

In which we crash or burn

Let the storm grow stronger

Try to make me kneel

I know I won’t go under

Saved by the hitman’s heel

Passin’ hours take us

An end we do not know

But when we meet our maker

Each step we took will show

Let the waves crash higher

The lord will never tell you

If you’re right or wrong

But grails will be uncovered

As soon as you leave town

Let the rain down harder

Have you solved the riddles

Have you tried séance

Or played a game of checkers

With the poker-face of chance

Let the blows come fallin’

Have you heard the peacock

Who always screams for help

He sits in trees and watches

The worlds around him fail 2x

Let the wind grow colder

Blow the fire jeremiah

The walls come tumblin’ down

Mad sin’s taken over

A waltz of black-eyed clowns

Let the sandstorm burn me

The blind are running blindly

They’re scramblin’ up the hill

But there is no embankment

To keep from getting’ killed

Let the rain fall harder

We won’t know the answers

We will not hear the horns

Angels cannot help us

Until true love is born

Let the locusts eat the crops
