Well I've never been accused of being a good man And the roads I've walked you wouldn't want to see And I don't look to God to find forgiveness For a demon walks this lonely road with me I can't find now, a better way If I can't find now, the light of day Well I once knew love when I was just a young man And this girl became the whole damned world to me But in my devil's eyes a lie was hidden And so I spilt her blood while she lay there asleep I can't find now, a better way If I can't find now, the light of day The rising tide brings the end of life now As the rising tide brings the end of a day (x2) Well if I've killed once I've killed a hundred times But I'd guess that most of them deserved their fate Some nights I swear that I can hear the dead ones screaming From far below the waters black and deep The rising tide brings the end of life now As the rising tide brings the end of a day (x3)
