The Hitman’s Heel

No one knows the future
How the world will turn
Life is but a mirror
In which we crash or burn
Let the storm grow stronger
Try to make me kneel
I know I won’t go under
Saved by the hitman’s heel
Passin’ hours take us
An end we do not know
But when we meet our maker
Each step we took will show
Let the waves crash higher
The lord will never tell you
If you’re right or wrong
But grails will be uncovered
As soon as you leave town
Let the rain down harder
Have you solved the riddles
Have you tried séance
Or played a game of checkers
With the poker-face of chance
Let the blows come fallin’
Have you heard the peacock
Who always screams for help
He sits in trees and watches
The worlds around him fail 2x
Let the wind grow colder
Blow the fire jeremiah
The walls come tumblin’ down
Mad sin’s taken over
A waltz of black-eyed clowns
Let the sandstorm burn me
The blind are running blindly
They’re scramblin’ up the hill
But there is no embankment
To keep from getting’ killed
Let the rain fall harder
We won’t know the answers
We will not hear the horns
Angels cannot help us
Until true love is born
Let the locusts eat the crops
