A Way To Die

Down alleys dark where secrets reside I trace the clues tide of lies The neon lights flickering glow Sin City where beauty dies so The body, a silent tale, a stark display Of innocence lost in the heart of decay I walk the tombstone where justice bends Chasing the truth in night's dark ends The moon hangs above as a silent judge Over the scene, a stage for grudge Dreams collapse into dust A soul sacrificed for lust Rumors swirl like toxic smoke Tarnishing her name, a cruel joke (femme fatale) They speak of her vice Blaming the victim despicable price No love affair, no romance No plot twist not a chance Guilt lies not with the one who's gone But the killer and venomous tongues (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha As a saying goes: "The heart of a woman can be the most venomous") She's a wanton, she's a witch She took the costly gifts She played with men's hearts He's ruined himself for her What a pitiful man In this sanctuary of wood and smoke I ponder the case where evil awoke The cube once clear now melt in the gold Chilling the spirit a slow subtle unfold Through a bourbon I see momentary grace turn into curse In city of whispers In your corruption, you don't deserve purity and dignity of her The moon hangs above as a silent judge Over the scene, a stage for grudge Dreams collapse into dust A soul sacrificed for lust Rumors swirl like toxic smoke Tarnishing her name, a cruel joke (Femme fatale) They speak of her vice Blaming the victim despicable price No love affair, no romance No plot twist not a chance Guilt lies not with the one who's gone But the killer and venomous tongues
