Luke

It started out as a joke
About the price of a human life
Back in those days we were broke
We burst out laughing in the night

But sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind
Sometimes it just remains in the dark
Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul
The poison finally reaches the heart
Sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind
Sometimes it just remains in the dark like it wasn't there
Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul
The mortal poison eventually finds its way to the heart

I never returned to the place
Where we left Luke's remains
We stopped mentioning his name
'Cause we can't get rid of the shame

A victim had to be chosen
A decision to be made
No need for words to be spoken
Nor for doubt to be displayed
We knew there would be no turning back
We just had to stay on track
(We just had to stay on track)
But when came the time for us to act
We knew Luke would break the pact
Yes, we knew that for a fact

I never returned to the place
Where we left Luke's remains
We stopped mentioning his name
But we can't get rid of the shame

I never returned to the place
Where we left Luke's remains
We stopped mentioning his name
'Cause we can't get rid of the shame

Sometimes the strangest idea keeps on growing in a tormented mind
Sometimes it just remains in the dark like it wasn't there
Like a conscience slowly beating in the dark depths of the soul
The mortal poison eventually finds its way to the heart

I never returned to the place
Where we left Luke's remains
We stopped mentioning his name
'Cause we can't get rid of the shame
