The Last Time Beaten Down

You have heard of serial killers, but sometimes it is just the beginning

The beginning of a push, a shove, or a bruise, then suddenly more

It happens so fast, love is no longer free, but it is imprisoned and controlled

I can't unfold what has happened, but I can make a difference to the next

The next victim, the next crime, I will not standby, it will not take me this time

I have to make the move, the one I will no longer have to run from

It may be insane, it may be, I will be to blame, but I have a gun

No more fears, no more tears, for the fool who said I do, I must undo

The misery is my own, and I shall free it tonight, with the thirty-two

I aim it, I mean it, and I will not regret it, my life has been wasted, now he too will be pasted

On the news, in the paper, in his grave, now the last time I am beaten

Beaten Down, now bang, listen to this sound, as a scream out for the last time

No more abuse, no more, shall I hide
