I saw her bound to the bed,
the ropes cutting into her skin.
seeing her helpless in the hands of men
who would not hesitate to torture women
in the most terrible, violent of sins

I was sent into action,with my bare hands
I tore the knife from her captors' hands
my furious fists pounding the man,
a whimpering mass like Elvis on the can.

I sprang to cut her free, when
I heard the car pull up quickly
as the ropes fell away, I gripped the knife
with steel fingers and I hoped the brutal
pain I would unleash would linger..

the woman quivering hiding herself in the sheets
the man on the floor, I doubt his heart still beats
she gave me a look as if i was the monster
I looked in the mirror, I favored a butcher.

I came to rescue her, not to go on slaughter
I didnt want to be seen like this, not to her
she reminded me of my daughter
I dropped the knife, I pulled myself together
I picked her up, like she was a feather

The men was coming, I heard them on the stairs
this is one time in my life, I didnt want that dare
so out the window i flew, her in my hands
we hit the ground hard, landing on a van
we had to run, it was the only way
in my head I was a warrior, I wanted to stay.
not this time though, not this in this way.

I came as a saint, but a sadist I did find
I can't shake it from my head, the blood,
the smell of the crime. The clock will countdown
it will reach zero, when it does, it will rebirth the last hero.

You know, you can get kicked out of school for writing like that?
