hounds

i was careful

i was patient

i made my kill

i claimed my prize

when the ground

beneath me gave way

i swear my shadow

let me fall

i was lying

i was naked

i had no place

no way to hide

when the hounds

they came to take me

i saw the end

in their black eyes

you've come to witness

my last hearing

now there's nothing left

i won't change a line

i've been waiting

far too long for this

i don't have excuses for you

i don't need a plea

i won't have to beg

i've been waiting

far too long for this
