October 31 - The Verdict lyrics
Let me take you to a prison Where a man is dying behind bars His death is right before him But it's not his choice and it's not his fault They served him wrong and placed him Here to die upon death row And there's little now to help this man For their justice ha been done A jury turned a blinding eye Now death is all he sees And now he has no choice at all But to die in misery Oh God above why don't you lend a hand? To this scarred and helpless soul Of an innocent man For if you're up there in the sky Why don't you make it right? Just turn him loose and end his fight Turn him loose and make this right He's reached the final hour As the minutes have ticked his life away But mercy hasn't come for him So he looks for faith And he starts to pray As the seconds fall he's taken To the place he'll die tonight While the preacher comes to read To him his final dying rites As they walk to death The man is screaming An innocence from the crime And the priest believes the words he hears From the sadness in his eyes He tells the priest he once believed In God above and serving thee for life But God has chosen him to die To make him pay for another's crime A lie, it's just a lie But faith is dead and now it's time To end the pain and say goodbye... As the man died before them The electric chair was charged to kill While the priest was staring at the sky The smell of death just filled the air Yes, the verdict death was carried out On the man who did no wrong The end for him had finally come And his soul it now was gone When the call did come after his death-aca |
