Mercy Killer (Born to Deceive)
JOE CHESTER
I recognize,
The murder in your eyes,
But you've got a fight,
On your hands.
Profit and loss,
A victim and a thief,
The start and the end,
And whatever's in between.
A shadow of love,
Far from the heat,
Out on the edge,
Circling in.
Villain of the piece,
You've got the motive and the means,
And the opportunity,
Mercy killer, born to deceive.
It's hard to pretend,
The heart begins to bruise,
It's not meant to last,
As long as it used to.
Like something you forgot,
That I could not refuse,
A killing match,
That you expect to lose.
A shadow of love,
Far from the heat,
Out on the edge,
Circling in.
Villain of the piece,
You've got the motive and the means,
And the opportunity,
Mercy killer, born to deceive.
