I brought this to pass The blame should rest solely on me I was too late Or perhaps I didnt care enough Im just a bastard Pardon the man, punish the damned Im just a coward You put the fear of the devil in me Cast me out to sea and drown me slow May the axe that falls first sever my tongue Before doing what a noose could never get done Im just a bastard Punish the man, punish the damned Take me instead You out the fear of the devil in me What use is there for a beggar, with only bitterness in his reign? Bastard! Coward! Consumed by the need for revenge Balancing equations that never resolve Cast me out to sea and drown me slow May the axe that falls first sever my tongue Before doing what a noose could never get done Let the poison work slowly so I can feel Every drop coursing through my veins May the hangman push me over and endure That my journey ends ...with a sudden stop
