Final Act

He sits alone in the dark, watching through the window pane
Memories of love and laughter now washed away by pain
She found somebody new, he's holding her so tight
In the shadows he waits consumed by jealous spite

Heartbeats like a drum pounding in his chest
Scenes replay in his mind, love put to the fucking test
Desperation takes hold, there's no turning back
In this tragic final act, the sky turns black

Fucking her like I used to but now it's not my place
I see red and I know there's no saving face
With the gun in my hand and rage in my soul
They'll both pay the price, I'll take control

The door creaks open slowly, he steps into the room
Their passion meets a bitter end, the air is filled with doom
Eyes widen in horror, they beg for one last breath
But the past can't be undone, it's a dance with death

Heartbeats like a drum pounding in his chest
Scenes replay in his mind, love put to the fucking test
Desperation takes hold, there's no turning back
In this tragic final act, the sky turns black

Fucking her like I used to but now it's not my place
I see red and I know there's no saving face
With the gun in my hand and rage in my soul
They'll both pay the price, I'll take control

The echoes of their laughter now haunt the empty space
Tears mix with the blood in this forsaken place
He kneels beside their bodies, whispers his goodbye
In the silence of regret he closes his fucking eyes

Fucking her like I used to but now it's not my place
I see red and I know there's no saving face
With the gun in my hand and rage in my soul
They'll both pay the price, I'll take control

Three lives ended by despair in a moment's twisted grace
A tale of love and jealousy, in death, they find their place
The curtain falls on this dark play, the final act complete
In the cold embrace of eternity, they fucking meet
