Lyrics

Nay, I Decline

I won't make promises that I don't plan to keep
When I lay my head upon my pillow, I intend to sleep
So if you're looking for someone to play your fiendish game
I say no senor, forget my name
I say no senor, and I do proclaim

Chorus
I refuse to be a prisoner in your dark cell
I refuse to be a part of your private hell
I've endured enough pain to last a lifetime
This time I take a stand it's nay, I decline
This time I take a stand it's, get thee behind

I've been around the bend many times before
I've given all I can, I've even hit the floor
I've been a victim in the past, and now I say at last
There's the door senor, head for it fast
There's the door senor, I'm free at last

Chorus

Bridge
Revenge is best served cold some say
But I won't serve it any way
I know you know that there's a price to pay
For your deals in the dark
When you hurt someone's heart

Chorus
(Repeat)
