In another few hours

By silentninja

The time has finally come
Where my past shows all that have gone and done
I never meant to hurt someone
I live in shame of what I have become

It is now too late for me to make amends
In my venture I lost all my friends
They all left me for dead in the end
I'm all left on my own again

I gambled it all on cards and booze
With beautiful girls meant I could never loose
Swore to myself I could play on through
I never knew what it would do to you

In another few hours the tears will wash away
In another few hours we will end today
In another few hours I will fade away
leaving only a memory of yesterday

In another few hours you will find this song
In another few hours will be my final wrong
In another few hours I will be gone
Pack some things and start to run

The men who show aim to destroy my name
The very same men who have no shame
Do not try to play them at their game
It is these very men that you should should hate

Under the bottom draw you'll find my gun
You should understand that this this is not for fun
It has been many years since I had to kill someone
Take the bullets and get on the run

Beside the gun you'll find a key
You'll find this so easily
You'll need this for all the money
This should be enough for the day

In another few hours you'll need to kill a man
In another few hours load up and ignore all demands
In another few hours you should then understand
Take him out the back and bury him in the sand

In another few hours the guilt will hit
In another few hours you will feel like shit
In another few hours rise out your pit
For we are not finished yet

Run for hills, there upon the moore
You will see a silloette cast the shore
Venture to the third vessel that bares a bore
Opposite that you'll find what you are looking for

Get some rest, you'll need it to
Follow the next instruction I give to you
Bury everything that looks like blue
None of this is any good to you

Take the bag full of foreign cash
Burn it all in the black furnace
Then light the fuse before you leave there last
At this point you'll need to start moving fast

In another few hours dawn will rise
In another few hours look with eagle eyes
In another few hours you'll meet a man in an awkward disguise
Tell this man nothing but lies

In another few hours you'll meet his wife
In another few hours after facing all her lies
In another few hours she will present a carving knife
Use this to take his life

Once the dirty deed has been done
The authorities will start to come
Remember before you take to run
Frame his wife for murder one

Looks as though your assignments complete
Disregard these instructions as they are now obsolete
Meet me in the hall where we will dine and eat
Where we plan our next conquest and enemies to defeat
