"Quietus" lyrics

"Quietus"

You're going nowhere
What ya gonna do on the run?
I'd hate to be in your shoes now, you've got to run
He's gonna find you, gonna get you, on the run
He's right behind you!
Don't look 'round, he's got a gun!

Servitude you escaped from
Now you've got to hide
Saboteurs are coming in from the other side
In a quick disguise you get away, just one more time
He keeps on coming! Oh, you know he won't resign

You lie awake, midnight hard a-thinkin'
You must not sleep. Just keep your eyes a-blinking
Or he might come when you're sleepin'
Listen! In the bushes! Is that him creepin'?!

Irrationally you walk the streets at night
Your mind is irrevocable by daylight
He has a plan to get you! It's a trait
He's got you where he wants you with the bait!

You lie awake, midnight hard a-thinkin'
You must not sleep. Just keep your eyes a-blinking
Or he might come when you're sleepin'
Listen! In the bushes! Is that him creepin'?!

Creepin'
Creepin'
Creepin'

Suddenly the bullet. Yes, it hits you hard
He's impeccable, you know he caught you off your guard
A sudden move, another shot! Yeah, you provoked

It seems to me
It was the death finishing stroke!
