lyrics

I know it was late at night.
But I can’t remember the time.
I just saw two eyes, in the dead of the night.
And this girl running for her life.

He finally reached her in the alley,
Slapped her in the face once or twice.
She fell on the ground. He kicked her in the head.
There was blood all over the place.

I could hear her cries. I didn’t know what to do to help.
He got out a knife and put it against her neck.
I was petrified. I was paralysed. So afraid.
He pushed the blade in. It was too late.

She let out a strange sound.
Not a scream. Just a noise. Death.

I fell on my knees, started crying.
I’m not strong enough to start fighting.
He must have heard me. He came back to kill me.
Had no choice to defend my life.

I picked up a rod and managed to give him the first blow.
I hit his head and split open his skull.
He swivelled one time and fell heavily on the road.
I heard his last breath. That’s it.

The album Small People, Short Story, Little Crime came out in 1999.

In 2017, Existence released the complete original concept as the ably titled Origins album, since only half of it had been released as an album until then. ... more
