Twelve Shots At Midnight

The seconds drop like flies

from the hottest flames

stripped from your darkened cell

from where they stained your name

the cold of concrete binds

and from the darkness lead

but still they see through all

vapid ice-cold and dead

so aim you proud and steadfast

men of what is true and what is right

you'll earn your right to sleep tonight

So trace the path from breach to bloodline

in this wealth of urgency

for there is nothing left of me

nothing left woh oh

Reclaim your conscience

For your own

Burn bright

you sons left lost unknown

fear not the end of all to come

you'll know in time Im not the one

So tie the blindfold tight

and speak a saviors name

you breath your softer prayers

and safer passage claim

release the father first

and let the captain crawl

one thing they see for some will one day burn through all

Merciful and swift let go

purge this world of wretched sight

in a heartbeat all will fail

with one final flash of light

Fearing man this loathsome world

you did nothing to request

now's the time

that you are laid to rest
