Well I've never been accused of being a
good man
And the roads I've walked you wouldn't
want to see
And I don't look to God to find
forgiveness
For a demon walks this lonely road with
me

I can't find a better way
If I can't find the light of day

Well I once knew love when I was just a
young man
And this girl became the whole damned
world to me
But in my devil's eyes a lie was hidden
And so I spilt her blood while she lay
there asleep

Well if I've killed once I've killed a
hundred times
But I'd guess that most of them
deserved their fate
Some nights I swear that I can hear the
dead ones screaming
From far below the waters black and deep

The rising tide brings the end of life
As the rising tide brings the end of a
day
