Russian Roulette

Take a breath, take it deep

Calm yourself, He says to me

If you play, you play for keeps

Take the gun, and count to three

I’m sweating now, moving slow

No time to think, my turn to go

And You can see my heart beating

You can see it through my chest

Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving

I know that I must pass this test

So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself, He says

Close your eyes, sometimes it helps

And then I get a scary thought

That He’s here means He’s never lost

As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye

But it’s too late to think of the value of my life

And You can see my heart beating
