I heard a gunshot out in the open
I felt the bullet rip through the heart of the night
I saw the wound: red, gushing, gaping
Staring me down, telling me strange things
"Tear me apart," I heard it cry
♪
And I was so caught up in what I had seen
I just forgot to turn and run
♪
And then I felt it
Like the fury of a thousand spirits cast over the ocean
It will swallow us whole for what we have done
I felt the pain take a hold of my senses
Strike me down, and pull the air from my lungs
And I was told -- I was told to stop this torture
We should hold ourselves
We should hold ourselves accountable
We should hold ourselves accountable
For our own end
