May god have mercy, your forgiveness do I need
My string of sins ends here with this most dreadful deed
I only meant to save my Rosa Bud, it's true
You bastard Jasper, christ! I meant to murder you!
Could I see my rosebud threatened
By this man of massive sin?
He'd revealed his vile desires
So I had to do him in!
To my endless ruination
I took smoke to see me through
In my sweet hallucination
I saw Drood, and thought him you!
So I say, to all who'll hear me--
You must plan a murder well
You must view your victim clearly
As you send him off to hell!
When I killed, 'twas well intended
Drink and smoke, what did me in
For my chores, I'm apprehended!
Them's the wages of sin!
Everyone now!
