Cruel Bargain Lyrics


As I approach the beach

Looking for answers

The two backstabbers are alone

I've turned to them in a time of need before

But now things are different

Feeling betrayed and walking in shame

Crawling up to plead my case

The next day, someone is exiled

And it can't be me, it can't be me

Two whole days

It's a brutal, hellish torment

No needs met

That I wouldn't survive

Future bleak

Hindering mind and body

No remorse

Nature has its way of drowning you

We think it's in your best interest

To accept this ritual's position

You pledge your honor and integrity

Now prove it to us

We must look after ourselves

In the hopes that you will parish

To further ourselves in this life

We must stifle you

I don't want to go to exile

But you must

I don't want to go to exile

Have you no trust

I don't want to go to exile

But you must

I don't want to go to exile

Think about us

My body is crippled

Bones feel like caving in

I can hardly breathe

I won't see another day

The time for ritual's approaching

Soon my fate may be sealed

This journey could be life-ending

And I'm not ready to face these fears
