How can I comfort me when there’s no hope?
I don’t want to give my sorrow scope,
The gate keeper is watching me sleep,
I lay with my eyes shut I haven’t slept,

I’m a prisoner with no hope of escape,
Stonewalls block me wherever I turn,
I cry out for help, but no one’s listening,
Oh God how long till I die?

I killed a man, killed a man,
I killed a man, killed a man,
Am I unworthy of love?

To those I brought pain and suffering,
Hollow as it sounds, I’m sorry,
My days are over, the end has come,
But is there truth in dying?

My photographs I sent home in a box,
In a box soon too I will follow,
Don’t mark my plot with a headstone,
I want to be forgotten,

I killed a man, killed a man,
I killed a man, killed a man,
Am I unworthy of love?
 
I waited all night long for you to come,
To guide me when, the light was gone,
I don’t remember what happened next,
But here the dead are everywhere,

I killed a man, killed a man,
I killed a man, killed a man,
Am I unworthy of love?
