What was it that stayed my hand then? 
 With dagger held unsheathed 
 Blade pointing in its side 
 I'd been set upon by a predator 
 It was just looking for a meal 
 I saw ribs and fearful eyes 
    What is it that stays my hand now? 
 With so much misery, that I could mercifully put end to 
 For that animal I let slink off 
 Into the undergrowth, unscathed 
 Do I not fear death, but just pretend to?   
 For it was starving, it was hungry 
 But had eyes too close to let me 
 If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already   
 Ba-da-da-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah 
 Da-da-ah-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah-ah   
 Plagued by phantom noises 
 That that skeletal beast 
 Was haunting all my steps 
 Questioning all my choices 
 With that dagger held unsheathed 
 I felt sick at my contempt   
 For you were lonely 
 You were like me 
 Like some outside force had sent me 
 If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already   
 Ba-da-da-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah 
 Da-da-ah-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah-ah   
 Ba-da-da-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah 
 Da-da-ah-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah-ah   
 You are at my feet 
 We're by the fire 
 You're a gentle beast 
 And I'm alive 
 You are at my feet 
 We're by the fire 
 You're a gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive   
 You are at my feet 
 And we're by the fire 
 You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive   
 You are at my feet 
 And we're by the fire 
 You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive   
 You are at my feet, we're by the fire 
 (Ba-da-da-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah) 
 You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive 
 (Da-da-ah-ah 
 Ah-ah, ah-ah) 
 You are at my feet, we're by the fire 
 (Like an outside force had sent me?) 
 You're a healthy, gentle, purring beast, and I'm alive 
 (If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already
