Killer

from Shadow by Red Ankh

/

lyrics

Of all the nightmares of Universe
Lies, deception, spite and disease
All things can be recovered from but one
Death is the end of it, no more chances
Unless your god is kind enough to preserve your mind
One is trapped in the past once they've died

All decay, consumed or rot away
But the killer voids the adventure far too soon

Do not let the killer go
It clashed with justice, let it burn
Even when the killer is you
Empathy just will not do
Advantage can come with the kill
But true power: persuasion
If there is one not to fix
The killer's value is nix

Posession can be returned
Per haps even a body
But extinguish a mind in the present
And you have killed

Self defense can be forgiven
Protection can be forgiven
Must all sacrifice inflict guilt?
Per haps, so our ethics do not wilt

As has been said, we must prevent
Our sevles from harboring cruelty
Be wary of violence too
Else malice come to consume you

Of all the rights to be preserved in time
The right to a life is reserved to self
Suicide when one's finished I understand
Death is the end of it, no more chances
So you'd best be sure you are truly complete
Even this kind of killer must consider falsehood

Honor? Forget the glory
Honor is respect of life
Combat is for protection
Death is not the resolution
