It's Dark
Smell of sulfur
Sound of crying

I walk past
I see him hanging
I feel bad for the man

I look down
My eyes open wide
I yell

Stop, Stop!
Don't do it!
I can help!

She looks at me
Tears of blood run down
Fingers get tighter

I saw it go
Thought I could help
I wish she would have let me

I look up and say
God Damn it
Where is your God now?
