Twist Of Fate

He couldn't help but to look over his shoulder

Four years later and he was hearing sounds

Couldn't tell if they were in his head

It seemed like they came from all around

His heart beat faster as he lay in the street

Was the source of these noises something he would come to meet?

The man he sent to kill her had finally done the job

And now it was time to pay the piper

He lost everything in the war against his wife

Lost the insurance he's been paying for her life

The street was the only thing to take him in

And he knew of the trouble that lay before him

The more he shouted at the noise the louder it became

And he tried but he couldn't turn away

In the apartments all around him people started to complain

And the cops came and took him away

The whole ride to the station he was screaming at the voice

And the officers both knew they had no choice

He had sealed his fate with the blood of his own sword

So they left him at the county mental ward

Too late to take it back

It was a choice that you made

And now you're locked in a padded room

Labeled "Mentally Insane"

Too late to change your mind

It's all been said and done

But the sounds will never leave you

Until your mind has come undone
