What went on in you head when they told you |
|
Did you think that it was all a lie? |
|
You were leading cattle to the slaughter |
|
You still lived when all around you died |
|
How many lives did it take to convince you - |
|
Did you see that what you did was wrong? |
|
Serving death to the people of the city |
|
Were you so cold you could not see the harm? |
|
Mary - Mary - oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands |
|
Mary - Mary - but you paid the price |
|
How did you feel when they said you had killed them - did you feel their agony and pain? |
|
Or did you think that they were mistaken - you would never, never kill or maim |
|
You wouldn't let them cut in your body |
|
You thought they were nothing more than fools |
|
When you have to answer to the master |
|
Their souls will avenge themselves on you |
|
Mary - Mary - oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands |
|
Mary - Mary - but you paid the price |
|
I feel your sorrow, your agony and pain |
|
It's time to weep no more, sentence is over, your debt has been paid |
|
Lay your soul to rest |
|
Did you finally tire of the running - or did your conscience finally get to you? |
|
Did they get you when you were not looking? |
|
Either way, your game was all through |
|
26 years you were locked from the outside |
|
They slammed the door and threw away the key |
|
You calmly accepted your 'sentence' |
|
For with your death you knew you'd then be free |
