The choking lifeless corpse,
lying before you.
Shattered by lies,
horrible truths.

Stabbed in the back,
So horrible,
Say its un-true.
We could be friends again...me and you.

Yet your hearts unfeeling,
Cold and lifeless.
Shattered before mine,
led down a whicked path.

With a fire inside,
Raging with envy and hate,
You came after me,
you braved the good life

Exchange it all,
the joy and the hopes,
Shared dreams, friendship,
For death. The death of a friend.

The knife is still bloody.
The pain still fresh,
Go ahead try to retract your steps,
Wrench back your knife.

The damage is done,
it's to late.
Can I trust you?
Why should I stake my life?

Its not worth it,
the pain you cause.
Its not worth it,
the life you ended.

Lying before you,
The corpse of a strangled friend,
here I am,
no opptions but the death you delivered.

I fear it's the end.
