So, this one is for Thresh, hope you like it
I made a promise
a promise to the little girl
the little girl named Rue
She was so young
too young for these games
these games that could make
the sane go insane
I made a promise to her
a promise that she would go home
home to her family
her family that needed her more than mine needed me
and so I promised her
I promised her she'd be okay
but I couldn't keep my promise
I couldn't keep the promise I made
to the little girl from home
although I sure as hell made sure
the careers paid and her ally lived
now as I lie here dying
water falling down my face
I feel like now I'll rest in peace
and enter deaths embrace
He was the gentle giant
the one who didn't want to fight
the one who simply wanted
to just make it through the night
He was the unwilling victim
the one who hid away from sight
the one who simply wanted
to make it home alright
He was the vengeful reaper
the one who ended a life
the one who simply needed
to end the fruitless strife
He was the merciful savior
the one who let twelve go
the one who simply wanted
to make his gratefulness known
He was the boy named Thresh
the one who others feared
the one who simply wanted
to get the hell out of here
