A single tear rolls down my cheek
I gasp in pain but dare not speak
He lifts the knife once again
And I think it`s a fight I cannot win
I hold on to life with all my strength
As I feel myself begin to sink
He picks me up as we speak
I assure myself I'm not too weak
He carries me out, through the door
He can't hurt me anymore
I'll get even with him, I will not die
In that grave is where he will lie
I bite down hard on his hand
He drops me, but on my feet I land
I'm badly hurt and for this he'll pay
He won't see the light of another day
Grab his gun and fire at him
His future is now looking dim
I pull the trigger once again
The fight is over, he did not win
I go inside and dial the phone
911, then no, I'll just go home
I'll leave him here in the grave
It was for me, but revenge I craved
I kick him in and bury him
The sunlight's quickly growing dim
I rush inside an grab his keys
I think, "You'll never again be needing these."
