clean slate

I will leave here tonight for you now what it is that i must do

a favour done doesnt fade with time its never overdue

you say i dont realise how cruel have been the hands of time

their younger and more ruthless no loyalties,n'one to leave behind

you dont understand it your eyes give that away,

but there are debts that must always be repaid

i will ply my trade in the shadows between the light

with his life or mine the slate will be clean tonite



gone the years of cloud that forever threatened rain

gone the poison that coursed through my veins

erased the weight of burden that hung over my name

clean slate



will you turn your back on us with no chance that i'd be heard

if you dont give a fuck about me what about your little girl

you think i have a choice its all a game for me to play

i should be able to turn my back and just walk away

she looks on you with love i dont know and a heart full of pride

if you were never to return it won't be you who'll just have died

ive dreaded this moment and longed for this day

too many nights ive sat in the dark to wait



gone the years cloud that forever threatened rain

gone the poison that coursed through my veins

erased the weight of burden that hung over my name

clean slate



and there the truth dies in the pictues of her eyes

all the memories desolve to be replaced by the lies

not the man she thought you see the hero she wanted in me 

devil in disguise,a shadow to despise,a stranger in the night,

	   a stranger in her life
