I went down to the streets within this town
That I probably didn't see until you fell
Where who*es and men burn the world as they descend
And hand in hand dance their way to hell
Despite the cares that war within my head
I cannot turn away until I see
The final deed as she goes down on her knees
And at that moment our eyes meet
But I don't worry
Because its one thing for a man to choose
Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves
But its more for a woman to lose
Skin and bone as I turned from the unknown
And ran before its teeth had sunken in
And anger burned like a fire building slow
And in that furnace my heart hardened
So emerging from the stone came justice and her scales
Blindfolded with vengeance, crying for repentance
But oh how I despair for you, I despair for you
Because maybe you're not the person you thought I would be
But I don't worry
Because its one thing for a man to choose
Between the heart he believes and the lover he leaves
But its more for a woman to lose
I'm just a discarded wife
I'll erase my old life
And I'll come back ready to survive
