Gains

Stranger came north via Golgotha's only night train
And what I got now has got me kneeing
And praying for change
I remember hushed mentions
Of some fabled, ill-gotten gains
They be-headed the baptist for just daring
To mention his name

I can carry what he brought
Without any need for a sack
And the weight of the gains
Is not what has broken my back
But if I told you the damage
That it has done to my soul
Then I believe it's a story
That you'll wish you'd never been told

He took what he got which to me
More than simple enough
The debt that's incurred
Becomes one life long loss
It's one of the jobs that never said to be done
And now I prepare myself to spend the
Rest of my life on the run
When your privvy to things that can change
What some men believe
You spend most of your time thinking of whats
To end all the grief
I remember involvment in someones ill-gotten gains
And I remember our paradise
But now all I know is my pain
