In your place a message left behind
It was too late, your not alone
I'm on my own
The call thereafter made the moment whole
The hour's come, delay no more
Reason met succinctly one demand
Just read the note, hang up the phone
Did you not read what the ransom said
To call no one, and come alone
Just give them what they want or she'll be dead
But I can't, not that I won't
Subsiding panic brought me to the call
Behind the voice, I heard a sound
The call they made to me betrayed them all
I know the place, I have you now
Pay no mind to what the ransom said
Take them down, and bring her home
But failure means she won't be seen again
So I can't, and I won't
Holding on to promises of old
It's over now
We're going home
