1. You lured me with your false promises
In the tumultuous waves of drowning

2. Until the enemy sniffed it out
And your fraud became as clear as day

3. Then you swore your affection for me
Was pure and your rope was still strong

4. And you thought me a naive fool
So you trampled me spitefully

5. And made me a target on the range
For enemies to shoot their arrows

6. And deemed God’s vast earth too narrow
For me, though God’s earth does not narrow

7. With no crime except my trust
In your promise when you said "Trust me"

8. And a devotion that inclined
My soul to you without gain or guile

9. But brotherhood stands at the brink
Of a crumbling cliff—reject their pact

10. So if I ever ask you for anything
Lock it behind bars in a cell

11. Prepare for me shackles and chains
To bind my hands to my neck

12. Then toss me into the pit of darkness
If after this day I act the fool

13. I relieve you of what you dislike
And what the horizons have denied me

14. How long is this world and how deceptive
Guiding me down its many paths
