Chapter 9

Forty years of sorrow felt
And the last one kind of numb
Watching corruption like a disease
Until the working day is done
Happiness lies in alcohol for this
Lonely abuse man he said
The law was the last thing I had to believe
So you can blacklist me again

Completely confident completely insane
Complete dedication and completely insane

Born a son of the military
Tried to make his father proud
His childhood spent in submission
Til the anger made him scream aloud
This boy never could quite measure up
In education for his old man
And the price that he paid was a piece of his soul
Another thing he couldn't understand

So this internal shadow he carries
Grows with each passing year
And losing his wife to his only friend
Left his spirit swimming in his tears
He became a man of the law so
He could salvage just a little pride
But the evil he saw he took his badge and his gun
On a one way lethal ride

Was he wrong? Now he's gone
Six others and then himself
And the dark road he was on
Was a painful endless cry for help
We must realize deep in our eyes
Lies the window to our soul
We can help those who have capsized
Before the evil it takes control
