Verdict Lyrics

Album: 11:05

I solemnly swear

That if you call me to stand

That I'll tell the whole truth

Without a doubt you'll regret

So help me God!

If I say something wrong

I must confess!

Oh the things that I've witnessed

You will repent!

For that blind bitch Justice

Now if it pleases the court

I would like to present

A piece of unsuppressed evidence

So let me tell you point blank

Your honor I ask

That you consider dismissing the charge

Before this smoking gun

Gets discharged again

Are you not convinced?

To set a precedent

Fine, I got a plea to submit

It was self defense!

Did you think it was worth it to drag me out?

Didn't you think I could tell it was rigged from the start?

Pistols at dawn, à outrance

Ten steps and turn, take your best shot

Cross the sticks, tie me up

Raise the stakes, burn me down

Whip the horse, torn in four

On the block, chop the board

Drop the cord, stoned dead

All it takes is just one shot

To spill a martyr's blood

All it takes is just one drop

To tip the scales about

All it takes is just one thought

To turn a crowd into a riot

All it takes is just one lie

To make them sentence life

Men and women of the jury

Read your verdict if you must

But remember at the first light

It was you who called the shot

So go ahead and grab your muskets

Don't forget to don the mask

As you guide the hand of justice

Delivering vengeance out of lust

While I stand here in amusement

An accuser to the fools

Do beware of those around you

You'll be next in line soon

So I shall invoke my last rights

Please indulge me this request

Let this be my final statement

Take your aim, fire on three!
