I was called to a domestic disturbance,
but I arrived at the scene of a murder.
Inside I found the work of the devil.
there was so much blood you could taste the metal.
He took the gun from his head, raised his hands in surrender.
He wants mercy, he'll get the mercy he showed her.
Now it's just you and me.
This coward had a wife that he didn't deserve.
bashed in her head with the base of a blender.
now she's laying on the floor under a blanket of her own blood. Others arrive for bagging and cleaning.
I put the cuffs on his hands, say "I'll take him myself".
Before he could cry for help. You did this to yourself.
What have you done? (COWARD)
What have you done? (YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS)
What have you done? Your hands are stained red.
Do you remember our trip out to nowhere?
I put a gun in your mouth and you swore you'd never hurt her.
She was so frail, like a baby bird.
I never should have taken a coward for his word.
I was weak. I chose a half measure.
How can I live knowing that I could have saved her?
Then I stopped, put the car in reverse,
turned around headed straight for the desert.
There will be no half measures.
