| [00:02.910] |
It all began when they took me from my home |
| [00:05.590] |
And put me on Death Row, |
| [00:07.400] |
a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know. |
| [00:11.390] |
|
| [00:12.820] |
I began to warm and chill |
| [00:14.630] |
|
| [00:15.630] |
To objects and their fields, |
| [00:18.130] |
A ragged cup, a twisted mop |
| [00:20.070] |
|
| [00:20.750] |
The face of Jesus in my soup |
| [00:22.870] |
|
| [00:23.560] |
Those sinister dinner deals |
| [00:25.490] |
|
| [00:26.180] |
The meal trolley's wicked wheels |
| [00:28.050] |
|
| [00:28.930] |
A hooked bone rising from my food |
| [00:31.730] |
All things either good or ungood. |
| [00:34.480] |
And the mercy seat is waiting |
| [00:36.470] |
|
| [00:37.030] |
And I think my head is burning |
| [00:39.710] |
And in a way I\'m yearning |
| [00:41.840] |
To be done with all this weighing of the truth. |
| [00:45.650] |
An eye for an eye |
| [00:47.080] |
And a tooth for a tooth |
| [00:48.450] |
And anyway I told the truth |
| [00:50.830] |
|
| [00:51.510] |
And I'm not afraid to die. |
| [00:53.510] |
|
| [00:59.630] |
I hear stories from the chamber |
| [01:02.310] |
Christ was born into a manger |
| [01:04.870] |
And like some ragged stranger |
| [01:07.110] |
He died upon the cross |
| [01:09.170] |
Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way |
| [01:13.170] |
He was a carpenter by trade |
| [01:16.030] |
Or at least that's what I'm told |
| [01:18.850] |
|
| [01:24.090] |
My kill-hand's |
| [01:25.210] |
tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist |
| [01:28.580] |
|
| [01:29.570] |
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resit |
| [01:35.010] |
In Heaven His throne is made of gold |
| [01:38.010] |
The ark of his Testament is stowed |
| [01:40.630] |
A throne from which I\'m told All history does unfold. |
| [01:44.360] |
|
| [01:45.180] |
It's made of wood and wire |
| [01:47.740] |
And my body is on fire |
| [01:49.980] |
|
| [01:51.410] |
And God is never far away. |
| [01:54.350] |
Into the mercy seat I climb |
| [01:57.030] |
My head is shaved, my head is wired |
| [01:59.780] |
And like a moth that tries |
| [02:01.780] |
To enter the bright eye |
| [02:04.020] |
I go shuffling out of life |
| [02:06.840] |
Just to hide in death awhile |
| [02:09.640] |
|
| [02:10.830] |
And anyway I never lied. |
| [02:13.750] |
And the mercy seat is waiting |
| [02:16.370] |
And I think my head is burning |
| [02:18.500] |
|
| [02:19.060] |
And in a way I'm yearning |
| [02:21.180] |
To be done with all this weighing of the truth. |
| [02:24.870] |
An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth |
| [02:28.110] |
And anyway I told the truth And I\'m not afraid to die |
| [02:33.170] |
And the mercy seat is burning |
| [02:35.470] |
And I think my head is glowing |
| [02:37.720] |
|
| [02:38.410] |
And in a way I'm hopin' |
| [02:40.710] |
to be done with all this twistin' of the truth. |
| [02:44.210] |
An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth |
| [02:46.770] |
And any way there was no proof And I\'m not afraid to die |
| [02:52.330] |
And the mercy seat is glowing |
| [02:54.950] |
And I think my head is smoking |
| [02:57.120] |
|
| [02:57.690] |
And in a way I'm hopin' |
| [02:59.240] |
to be done with all these looks of disbelief. |
| [03:03.370] |
A life for a life And a truth for a truth |
| [03:06.290] |
And I've got nothin' left to loose. |
| [03:09.290] |
And I'm not afraid to die |
| [03:11.670] |
And the mercy seat is smoking |
| [03:13.660] |
|
| [03:14.350] |
And I think my head is melting |
| [03:16.220] |
|
| [03:16.790] |
And in a way that's helpin' to be done with all this twistin' of the truth |
| [03:22.650] |
An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth |
| [03:25.270] |
And any way I told the truth |
| [03:28.270] |
But I'm afraid I told a lie. |
