|
I won't say I'm guilty |
|
But the truth has changed. |
|
Trust me my friend |
|
It'll end better this way. |
|
I couldn't watch quietly |
|
And I won't pretend |
|
To understand. |
|
I don't feign piety, |
|
But why would a God ever want to be... |
|
I could feign stories |
|
Of regret and woe |
|
But morals implore me |
|
To share the truth that I know. |
|
I couldn't watch quietly |
|
And I won't pretend |
|
To understand. |
|
I don't feign piety, |
|
But why would God |
|
Choose to be a man? |
|
So it's stressful days |
|
Followed by restless nights, |
|
But I know I'm just, |
|
I bear the burden of right. |
|
And it's worse for the liar |
|
Than the one deceived. |
|
Don't offer me solace |
|
Because I don't believe. |
|
I couldn't watch quietly |
|
And I won't pretend |
|
To understand. |
|
I won't feign piety, |
|
But why would God choose to be a... |
|
The dimmest bulb in that factory |
|
Tore her away |
|
And our hearts still bleed. |
|
I couldn't watch quietly |
|
And I don't pretend |
|
To understand. |
|
I won't feign piety, |
|
But why would God choose to be a... |
|
And what of the fate of Veronica dear, |
|
He manipulates you with crocodile tears. |
|
And I can't pretend that it's alright |
|
That his human darkness snuffed her light. |
|
So fathers, don't cast your blame. |
|
In my place you'd do the same. |
|
And mother, do what thou wilt, |
|
It erodes us like the silt. |
|
Their sons destroy our world |
|
By stealing your little girls. |
|
The daughter you've loved from birth |
|
Slumbers beneath the earth. |
|
So ask yourself, what is one life worth |
|
When measured against the children we birthed? |
|
Yet he is free to live and carry on |
|
And she had to die and it's all so wrong. |
|
I will have order in this court room. |
|
I will have order in this court. |
|
I will have... I will have... |
|
Order. Order. Order. Order. |
|
The ones who make history |
|
And the ones who repeat |
|
All wind up the same under our feet. |
|
But what survives is what's passed down. |
|
I have my legacy and I am proud. |
