The Judgement

The accused will rise to be torn in two

Guilty of nothin' but loving you

This is the judgement

And I'm willing to plead

Now you don't want me

Hopin' this torment will cease

Will I be released?

There'll be lies, there'll be tears

A jury of your peers

With a pitiful look of experience

Hand down the judgement

And if I done wrong

And loved you too long

Stand up just testify

How can I deny?

Objection overruled

I wait for my reprieve

With the trust of the deceived

The wisdom of the fool

Is his sorrowful face

Too heavy for his head?

'Cause he bowed it

As something come over him

It was the judgement

He falls to his knees

Have mercy on me

He clings to the hem of her gown

She say, "Just take him down"
