Casualty
I may have saved youBut your life means nothing
You owe me no debts
So don't you say a thing
I came to finish a job
Little more than a contract
Chance would have me help you
But that forms no compact-
With you
I'm not a knight in shining armor
I'm not here to save the day
I'm here to kill a man
And quietly walk away
Trust me darling
It's better off that I don't stay
The wicked can never rest
So I just cannot sit still
I have things to do
And orders to fulfill
Nothing you could say
Could change my mind
So when you come searching
You won't find-
Me
I'm not a knight in shining armor
I'm not here to save the day
I'm here to kill a man
And quietly walk away
Trust me darling
It's better off that I don't stay
Lead your life, and love your breath
Because life with me is only death
I'm sure you'll turn out okay
I'm nothing good, I'm sure you know
There's no point in being my shadow
So turn your head the other way
I don't need another casualty
Another poor young soul lost to me
So now I leave you here, today
