Waiting for Vengeance' Well, what is this? What am I…
““Waiting for Vengeance' Well, what is this? What am I coming to? And beyond that, what am I gonna do? Now there’s blankness Where once your eyes held the light But that was so long ago That was last night Well, what was that? What’s that sound that I hear? It’s just my lifetime Its whistling past my ear And when I look back Everything seems smaller than life The way it’s been for so long Since last night Now I’m leaving Any moment I’ll be gone I think you’ll notice I think you’ll wonder what went wrong I’m not choosing But I’m running out of fight And this was decided so long ago It was last night””
