The Eternal Device
By Tom Stanley



My mind is made up
I know what I must do,
Finally the time has come
To pay the price for you. 
I understand what happened
But not what I have done,
I don't deserve my fortunes,
My moments in the sun. 
So I will give up all that I am,
Make the sacrifice,
To give peace to the world,
The eternal device. 
And with my very last breath
I make this solemn vow,
That I hope you never have to pay the price
I have paid right now
