  • Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    He holds
    The gun
    Against
    My head
    I close
    My eyes
    And bang
    I am dead
    I know
    He knows
    That he's
    Killing me
    For mercy

    And here I go
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    And here I go
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh

    And he holds my body
    In his arms
    He didn't mean
    To do no harm
    And he holds
    Me tight

    Oh, he did it all
    To spare me from
    The awful things
    In life that comes
    And he cries
    And cries
    I know
    He knows
    That he's
    Killing me
    For mercy

    And here I go
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh

    And here I go
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh

    He holds my body
    In his arms
    He didn't mean
    To do no harm
    And he holds
    Me tight

    Oh, he did it all
    To spare me from
    The awful things
    In life that comes
    And he cries
    And cries

    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    The gun is gone
    And so am I
    And here I go Writer/s: Aurora Aksnes, Odd Martin Skalnes
