October 31 - The Verdict слова песни
Let me take you to a prisonWhere a man is dying behind barsHis death is right before himBut it`s not his choice and it`s not his faultThey served him wrong and placed himHere to die upon death rowAnd there`s little now to help this manFor their justice ha been doneA jury turned a blinding eyeNow death is all he seesAnd now he has no choice at allBut to die in miseryOh God above why don`t you lend a hand?To this scarred and helpless soulOf an innocent manFor if you`re up there in the skyWhy don`t you make it right?Just turn him loose and end his fightTurn him loose and make this rightHe`s reached the final hourAs the minutes have ticked his life awayBut mercy hasn`t come for himSo he looks for faithAnd he starts to prayAs the seconds fall he`s takenTo the place he`ll die tonightWhile the preacher comes to readTo him his final dying ritesAs they walk to deathThe man is screamingAn innocence from the crimeAnd the priest believes the words he hearsFrom the sadness in his eyesHe tells the priest he once believedIn God above and serving thee for lifeBut God has chosen him to dieTo make him pay for another`s crimeA lie, it`s just a lieBut faith is dead and now it`s timeTo end the pain and say goodbye...As the man died before themThe electric chair was charged to killWhile the priest was staring at the skyThe smell of death just filled the airYes, the verdict death was carried outOn the man who did no wrongThe end for him had finally comeAnd his soul it now was goneWhen the call did come after his deathClaiming that the man was freeAll were shocked except the priestWho knew the travestyOh God above why did you take his life?Is he at peace there standing by your side?Has his non-belief been born again,For will we ever know?The many reasons for the way things goThe many reasons for the way things goYour many reasons for the way things goYour many reasons for the way things go
