00:21Helen, I buried you under autumn leaves
00:29You left me a puppy to keep the dark at bay
00:36They laughed while they killed her, left her bleeding on the floor
00:43That's when the Baba Yaga opened up the door
00:52I tore the world apart for the love you gave
01:00Three hundred bodies later, I'm still your slave
01:07No more dawns, just this endless grave
01:15I killed them all, but the pain won't go away
01:25They think I'm dead on those Paris steps
01:30Lying next to you is the only peace I've left
01:35Helen, I'm sorry
01:38The wick burned down, but I'm still here
01:49I watched good men die, Karen, the Bowery King's crew
01:57Held Kane's hand while the blind man saw the truth
02:06Winston stood beside me when the sky fell down
02:13We burned the table, now I'm just a ghost in this town
02:22Every marker called, every debt I paid
02:29With rivers of blood
02:32That will never fade
02:38No more dawn
02:40The night swallowed me whole
02:43I was the devil
02:44But I had a soul
02:47They laid a stone that says
02:49Loving husband
02:51I read it from the shadows and laughed like a madman
02:56Forgive me
03:02I became a monster
03:05So you could sleep
03:11I see your face in every quiet hour
03:14Hear your voice when the bullets aren't loud
03:18All this gold, all this power, all these graves
03:22Couldn't buy back one single day
03:27I'm so tired, love
03:30So goddamn tired
03:34The Reaper's tired too
03:37He looks just like me now
03:43No more dawn
03:50But maybe one day the light
03:53We'll find a man who's done with the fight
03:57The world believes I finally paid the price
04:01I'm breathing in secret
04:03Paying it twice
04:05Heaven
04:06I'm coming home
04:09Not as the killer
04:11Just as John
04:15Just as John
04:17Just as the man
04:17Who loved you
04:20Once
04:20Once
04:27The world thinks I'm dead
04:31Maybe that's mercy
04:35Maybe that's peace
04:38Maybe I can finally rest
