"Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself", he says to me "If you play, you play for keeps Take a gun, and count to three" I'm sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go
[Chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger
"Say a prayer to yourself," He says: "Close your eyes Sometimes it helps" And then I get a scary thought That he's here means he's never lost
[Chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger As my life flashes before my eyes I'm wondering Will I ever see another sunrise? So many won't get the chance to say goodbye But it's too late To pick up the value of my life
