Every Minute Can Kill - His Name Was Mayhem lyrics

He cleared his throat, made himself know
Walked to the center of the room from the shadows.
Please take a seat, don't dare try and leave
He tapped on his pistol and smiled as he winked.

He had the face of the devil.
You wanna hear the truth
I'm a thief and a killer
I'm a damned soul awaiting the reaper and
I'd love to see you try and stop him

I swallowed hard, but couldn't find the words
I heard her scream
Stay back you monster
You murderer

She raised her eyes to the door.
You could see it in her face that her heart was torn.
He knew what had to be done.
His eyes turned as black as his heart truly was.

I stood then in silence but no words came in time.
The devil stole my tongue, my eyes, my spine.

He raised his pistol.
You've gone mad
Well darling
I suppose I have

This is who I am
This is what I am.
Well I can't save you so shoot me if you'd like but
I'll die heading for that door
And he did, and she died, as it all turned to black.
