Pay Your Debts

In the moon
Under the light
He crawls in the night

Promises are kept
A bet is made
Horrors and shadows
Come your way

You cannot outrun them
It was your choice
To give in
To their voice

Now we're here
You
And I
It is now time
To say goodbye

"Oranges and lemons" say the Bells of St. Clement's
"You owe me five farthings" say the Bells of St. Martin's
"When will you pay me?" say the Bells of Old Bailey
"When I grow rich" say the Bells of Shoreditch
"When will that be?" say the Bells of Stepney
"I do not know" say the Great Bells of Bow
"Here comes a Candle to light you to Bed
Here comes a Chopper to Chop off your Head
Chip chop chip chop - the Last Man's Dead."
