'Exit Wounds'

Another night, another game
Another early morning walk of shame
Sideways glances, the usual dances
Pointing fingers, words of blame

A truth, a lie, a reason why
Beyond the mountains, sold saints cry
Emotional blows from unnamed foes
Retributions hanging high

Against the wall spurned lovers fall
Compassion martyrs one and all
False accusers, four-time losers
Sweat-drenched hands clutch a widow's shawl

Confusion winds decide who wins
As the first dream ends the nightmare begins
Claims are staked on those the gods forsake
Forever is a promise the dawn rescinds

Two steps forward, three leaps back
Ominous footsteps, coming down the track
Soothsayers chanting, victims panting
The Commandments' tablets starting to crack

Price up a soul and place a bet
Try to remember that it's better to forget
Peel back the shroud and cry out loud
The last refuge of the scoundrel is to plead regret
