Lost my wife that night.
I feel so cheated and betrayed.
Should have been the child whose life was taken in her place.
I knew that life would be lost.
Hoping that the child's life would be enough to pay the cost.
Should have known that night when I made the deal that it wouldn't end up going my way.
Should have known it was too good to be real.
I’ve traded life for lust, as in the deal I made.
A selfish sacrifice; Yet still I feel betrayed.
When I look at him,
I can see his mother's face.
Still, I can’t seem to fight
the anger coursing through my veins.
The hatred is blinding me.
She is always on my mind.
How can I see her one more time?
Should have known that night when I made the deal that it wouldn't end up going my way.
Should have known it was too good to be real.
I’ve traded life for lust, as in the deal I made.
A selfish sacrifice; Yet still I feel betrayed.
Words that never should have left my lips. What kind of man have I become?
I should have known that I would lose it all. I should have seen the things to come.
