The night awoke me,

It was so sound, so silent,

But then I heard what I never thought I'd hear,

A gun shot,

It was near,

It wasn't far away,

No...

It was near me,

A gunshot,

Is what I heard,

Off in the distance maybe...?

No...

It was right here,

A gunshot,

Is what I heard that night,

I held my breath,

An counted to 10,

"Don't come any closer..." I had said,

But I fear as if I am too late,

A gunshot to the head,

I'm finally dead,

It was in the distance,

An it drew closer,

I held my breath,

Said goodbye,

An with that,

Put a bullet through my head,

A single gunshot,

Clean through.
