The Proposition Lyrics

I sleep alone and lie awake at night
Ponder my wrongs, wonder what was right
Was given the word, the one I lived by
Was handed a sum without a face, by my hand he would die
Need not act, never cared for forgiveness
Ask only one, where to look in his eyes
Was given word to dish out somewhere
And hide the fact he would die with my guise

When I was done
Return for one more
To my neighbor
Kill his brother without a sense of remorse

So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive

So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive

Then I return, back to my home
For them I do this
While they look to me as a noble
Was not an act, to me it was business
I never asked if it was even the score
The dual life, I kept it all in me
Through the door, I would put it behind
Poor little eyes
I beg they won't see
A man's final breath
Or hear the cries as he begs for mercy

So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive

So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive

So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive
So don't propose
This is your calling
Even Christ could not keep you alive

I won't propose
This is my calling
Even Christ could not keep me alive

I won't propose
This is my calling
Even Christ could not keep me alive

Keep me alive
Keep you alive
Keep you alive
Keep you alive
Keep you alive
Keep you alive
Keep you alive
