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 a better way If I can't find 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 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 As the rising tide brings the end of a day
