To Kill

To Kill

                He killed a man tonight
        Put a gun to his head
And blew out his thoughts
                He killed a man tonight
        That somebody lies dead
But he'll never get caught

He deserved to die tonight
        He'd wronged something right
                Made another's life hell
He deserved to die tonight
        Without the chance to fight
                The trigger pulled, farewell

                He killed a man tonight
        An evil man, a monster
Who raped & hit & tortured
                He killed a man tonight
        He overcame and conquered
Disregarding this slaughter

He deserved to die tonight
        He was nothing if he was bad
                Worth only the bullet in his head
He deserved to die tonight
        Gotten all that he should had
                And now he lies still, dead

                He killed a man tonight
        And now he was the same
He could feel the evil burning
                He killed a man tonight
        And he could feel all his pain
And knew why he was hurting

He deserved to die tonight
        Or so he keeps repeating
                It's his mantra, it's his chant
He deserved to die tonight
        Even though life is fleeting
                He wants to forget, but can't
