Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I found my inspiration there
In silent whispers, it just came to me so clear
A simple question
What was I doin' there?
[Verse 2]
Hesitation when I'm standin' with my prey
Indecision about if I should blow him away
[Verse 3]
It's kinda strange what happened from that moment on
What more can I say than that reason he was gone?
What they were askin'
Was more than I could bear
[Verse 4]
Execution, what more can, can I say?
The realization of blowin' a brother away
Something in me was gone
Something in me was gone
[Verse 5]
No hesitation, when I'm standin' with my prey
Indecision about if I should blow him away
[Verse 6]
A simple question
What was I doin' there?
Execution, it wasn't a part of me
The realization of how things are going to be
[Verse 7]
In my commitment to staying away from guilt
I feel no emotion for those I have gone and killed
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me
[Verse 8]
I take my gun and I give it to my prey
I turn my back to him and start to walk away
And all I want is for someone to stop me there
[Verse 9]
Don't want redemption
Don't want salvation
Don't want redemption
[Verse 10]
In my commitment to staying away from guilt
Don't want salvation
I feel no emotion for those I have gone and killed
Don't want redemption
In my commitment to staying away from guilt
Don't want salvation
I feel no emotion for those I have gone and killed
Don't want redemption
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me
Yeah
[Verse 11]
Don't want redemption, don't want salvation
Oh no
Don't want redemption, don't want salvation
Oh, oh
