Brave Young Assassin

Turn your back and head off homeward
you don’t need to see me die again
The elusive fading stranger over winter’s fields,
and no searchlights could lure you there
and I won’t lay down,
and I won’t stay around for then
There’s no better way to save you
and I than to kill the sound
In that moment you should erase
that stain from your life
Or they’ll hunt you down
Our solitary witness from our early inspired days
When the air was once alight
with tales of my unsung hero
Now it feels like the days won’t end
«and I won’t you down.
I won’t let you down again»
