Lyrics
Just one last chance before you go.
You hold the secrets and I must know.
Just one last chance to right the wrong.
Before the clues are all buried and gone.
I'll speak for you
When the screen fades to black
I'll speak for you
When you're gone
I'll speak for you
When your lips are cold and blue
Dead men do tell tales
I'll speak for you
I know your soul is seeking
some kind of rest
But you'll be unaware of my inquest
Our exchange will be somewhat extreme
But you won't feel my crude, cold, sharpened steel
