American Ninja

Don't try to stop me
I know not what I do
Am I forsaken
What I'm about to do
It takes some pressure
Not peer or lack of strain
It takes a shovel
Tormented souls awake
My bleeding heart will pay for actions I'm about to make
(My bleeding heart will pay)
This pain I brought upon myself and nothing's haunting me
(This pain is haunting me)
At night I stay up late I'm praying that this curse will break
Their curse upon me
I just don't understand
The rules set forward
Conquer my loneliness
I lay here bleeding
Seeping from inside out
Please Lord forgive me
I know not what I've done
My bleeding heart will pay for actions I'm about to make
(My bleeding heart will pay)
This pain I brought upon myself and nothing's haunting me
(This pain is haunting me)
At night I stay up late I'm praying that this curse will break
I stand here marked
Their souls unearthed
And this is just beginning
My time is up
But I'm so young
I'm on my knees and waiting
I stand here marked
Their souls unearthed
And this is just beginning
My time is up
But I'm so young
I'm on my knees and waiting
Don't try to stop me
I know not what I do
Am I forsaken
What I'm about to do
It takes some pressure
Not peer or lack of strain
It takes a shovel tormented souls awake
My bleeding heart will pay for actions I'm about to make
(My bleeding heart will pay)
This pain I brought upon myself and nothing's haunting me
(This pain is haunting me)
At night I stay up late I'm praying that this curse will break
