The Proposition Lyrics - Brand New Sin

I sleep alone and lie awake at night 

Ponder my wrongs, wonder what was right 

Was given the word, the one I lived by 

Was handed a sum without face, by my hand he would die 

Need not act, never cared for forgivness 

Ask only one, where to look in his eyes 

Was given word to dish out somewhere 

And hide the fact he would die with my guise 

When I was done 

Return for one more 

To my neighbor 

Kill his brother without a sense of remorse 

So don't propose 

This is your calling 

Even Christ could not keep you alive 

Then I return, back to my home 

For them I do this 

While they look at me as a noble 

Was not an act, to me it was business 

I never asked if it was even the score 

The dual life, I kept all in me 

Through the door, I would put it behind 

Poor little eyes 

I beg they won't see 

A man's final breath 

Or hear the cries as he begs for mercy 

I won't propose 

This is my calling 

Even Christ could not keep me alive
