The Judgement

[Verse 1]
The accused will rise to be torn in two
Guilty of nothing but loving you
This is the judgement
And I'm willing to plead
Now you don't want me
Hoping this torment will cease
Will I be released?

[Verse 2]
There'll be lies, there'll be tears
A jury of your peers with the pitiful look of experience
Hand down the judgement
And if I've done wrong
And loved you too long
Stand up and just testify
How can you deny it?

[Bridge]
Objection overruled
I wait for my reprieve
With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fooled

[Verse 3]
Is this sorrowful face too heavy for his head?
'Cause he bowed it as something hung over him
It was the judgement
And he falls to his knees
Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down"
Just take him down
Just take him down
