[offset:0] |
| [00:18.66] |
He knows well his wicked ways |
| [00:22.96] |
A course of bitterness |
| [00:26.70] |
|
| [00:27.32] |
A grudge held from his childhood days |
| [00:31.02] |
As if life had loved him less |
| [00:35.51] |
|
| [00:36.13] |
Reading down his list of names |
| [00:39.69] |
He ticks them one by one |
| [00:44.49] |
|
| [00:45.18] |
He points the barrel at the sky |
| [00:49.36] |
Firing shots off at the sun |
| [00:53.98] |
|
| [00:57.91] |
"I am the law and I am the King |
| [01:05.46] |
|
| [01:06.58] |
I am the wisdom, listen to me sing" |
| [01:11.76] |
He carves out the victim's names |
| [01:15.06] |
In the wooden butt of the gun |
| [01:19.18] |
|
| [01:20.05] |
He leans well back against the tree |
| [01:23.92] |
He knows his Kingdom's come |
| [01:28.09] |
|
| [01:28.99] |
He'll breath a sigh self satisfied |
| [01:32.48] |
The work is in good hands |
| [01:37.23] |
|
| [01:38.04] |
He shoots the coins into the air |
| [01:41.22] |
And follows where the money lands |
| [01:46.52] |
|
| [01:50.71] |
"I am the law and I am the King |
| [01:57.76] |
|
| [01:59.43] |
I am the wisdom, listen to me sing" |
| [02:04.55] |
He pauses at the city's edge |
| [02:07.73] |
Of hellfire and of stone |
| [02:12.61] |
He summons up the devil there |
| [02:16.29] |
To give him courage of his own |
| [02:21.04] |
He'll free the sinners of deceit |
| [02:25.34] |
They'll hear his name and run |
| [02:29.96] |
|
| [02:30.76] |
His justice is his own reward |
| [02:34.76] |
Measured out beneath the sun |
| [02:39.06] |
|
| [02:43.44] |
"I am the law and I am the King |
| [02:49.66] |
|
| [02:52.15] |
I am the wisdom, listen to me sing" |
| [02:57.96] |
And my name's on the gun |
