Samuel
So if you're lost along the way
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
Sam supposed it was comforting to hear the Order might not necessarily murder him on the spot, but Remi kept adding conditions, extra situations: it seemed entirely possible he'd still end up dead at the Order's hands.
And that his friends would be instrumental in it.
"You'd...tell me. Right before you cut my throat?" His voice was accusatory, angry; on one hand he felt justified in that, given that he was being told he was subject for killing at any point. On the other...he could feel Remi's pain here, knew just as well as anyone how good the Gods were at influencing and manipulating lives. "I..sorry, I just...I can't believe I'm asking this, but if you ever do have to do it. We both know I won't be able to fight you, so...make it...quick? Please?"
The question turned back on him was something he should have expected, but the distraction of knowing his murder at the hands of Remi was on the cards had meant Sam hadn't thought about it. "I...I mean, to some extent, I've already answered that question. I left the Voice last year...though I did return. I don't know, really. I don't think I'm the kind of person she would ask to do anything like that anyway. I don't think the Voice wants to eliminate everyone else, either. That's the Old God's mission."

You'll make a sucker's prayer
Just go and leave it that-a-way
Just go and leave it that-a-way
