Gangsta's Soul To Rest

I hold you in my arms
and away a man runs,
I'm screaming for help
and nobody comes,

I gaze into your eyes
now covered with gloss,
Please Luis, don't leave
I can't handle this loss.

Please God, I beg you,
take me instead,
How can I go on,
for my love is dead?

Reality is leaving,
it's just me and this dark flood,
Then I realize that
the ocean is his blood.

Sweet Luis, why must
death take you?
I'd give my own life
if I could just wake you,

Father please have
mercy on my love,
Please watch over him
in the heavens above,

Please forgive his
crimes and arrests,
Merciful God,
put this gangster's soul to rest.
