It was late at night
Outside a storm was raging
In my mind a war was waging
Good and evil
Wrong and right
Will I end his life tonight?
I could hear his cough
In the little room upstairs
The light falling on the stairs
I've had enough
He drove me mad
Took every shred of dignity I had
It's too late now
I get out of my bed

By morning he'll be dead

II

I started walking slowly
To the little room upstairs
Slowly walking up the stairs
Suddenly a thick silence
No sound came to my ear
Did he know I was here?
I decided to go on
The inside of me burning
I could hear him tossing, turning
Every step
Brought me closer to the door
Closer than I ever was before
There's no stopping now
His end is near

For him no one will shed a tear

III

The knife in my hand
My heart beating insane
Suddenly a blinding pain
My left arm burns
I need to rest
What's this feeling in my chest?
The pain won't go away
It only grows stronger
I cannot take this any longer
I drop the knife
And fall on the floor
Morning light shines through the door

They buried him the next day
They put him in a hole
Here lies old man Harris, may god have mercy on his soul"
