Gallows

My name signed in oil
Like a pact with the devil
And a black vessel
Tears the waters it will spoil
I don't understand the road that led me here
Once fighting by your side I am now the one you fear
Dark corridors take me through demons of my own
Murked mirrors distorted the reflections I was shown
Torn between giving up
Or giving in
Now the word 'corrupt'
Is stuck to my skin
If I don't make it stop
Then we can't win
Is there time to adjust
My faith is thin
Raindrops on my clouded window
I ponder in my own shadow
Headlights flicker in a numbing flow
I bury my head in my pillow
I hear sirens and they're after me
To show me the depth of my treachery
Out to the deck they're taking me
The foghorn is like a gallows bell
The darkened sea is my door to hell
