Hello?
I don't know if you can hear me,
or if you're even there.
But please just listen to me,
please just hear my prayer.
I'm on the ground and bleeding
and the enemy's closing in.
Please just listen to me,
I want my life to end.
I don't want to bleed to death,
that'll take too long.
And I don't want them to catch me,
I'll be dead before I'm gone.
I just have one bullet,
and a really crappy gun.
So please just help me with this,
kill me on pull one.
I'll just put a bullet in the gun,
and spin the barrel 'round.
I lift it to my head
pull the trigger
I'm on the ground.
Damn!
It all sounds so simple,
but here's a real sad fact:
I'm a coward in my heart,
so I won't and cannot act.
I'm lying on the ground,
there's blood staining the snow.
The red from me is staining it,
damaging it's glow.
And they are coming closer,
I can hear their footsteps now.
Please be kind to me and kill me,
let this be my final bow.
Load a bullet in the gun
and spin the barrel 'round.
Lift it to my head...
Dammit!
Why do you hate me?
What have I done to you?
Yes,
I may not be religious
but I really need you now.
Kill me before they catch me,
help to put me in the ground.
Let's try this again.
Put a bullet in the gun,
and spin the barrel 'round.
Bring it to my head,
pull the trigger-
Why do you do this to me?
Why can't you just
let my soul be free?
Am I really that horrible?
Are you even there?
My family died in a fire,
but I doubt you even care.
That was another battle,
and they all died in vain.
I'm lying on the ground now,
and I'm in a lot of pain.
....
Dad?
I don't know if you can hear me,
or if you're even there.
I know that you died awfully,
but I do know that you care.
I need you at the moment,
I need you here with me.
I need you here to guide me,
to let my soul be free.
They're almost here.
Please,
I miss you mom and brother,
I miss you all so much.
I miss your awful singing,
and mother's gentle touch.
I also miss my brother,
who came out here with me.
But he was murdered by those people,
and the same fate will lie with me.
Please help me.
Put a bullet in the gun,
and spin the barrel 'round.
Lift it to my head-
Dad?
I love you and mom.
And my brother.
I want you to know that.
I hope that you know that
I just want my soul free.
Please.
Help me pull this trigger,
and take my life-
...
from me.
Thank you.
