The Condemned

Silence In Solitude

Compositor: Não Disponível

Time passes slowly as I stand on the brink of death
Betrayed by the life I lead, hands shake with a violent grasp
Choices Iʼve made in life have resurfaced just to torment me
Thereʼs a cry coming from inside begging only just to be set free
Through this life Iʼve suffered just like the rest of the crowd
Yet they stand here on this day tossing stones at the innocent

Thereʼs no more deliberation, thereʼs no voice to be heard today
No one came here to save this man sentenced to death
I hear the cracking rope sway gently through the wind
Thereʼs no more deliberation, thereʼs no voice to be heard today
No one came here to save this man sentenced to die

Death, for the blood Iʼve spilt
Death, for my proven guilt
Death, on a stranger's word
Death, innocence dies tonight

Their voices cry aloud: Bring us his head
There is no penance for the life that I was forced to live
Taking all the time to end me
Thereʼs a voice that whispers: Everything is going to be ok
I could never reveal, all the things that Iʼve done
I wonʼt let you discover this man Iʼve become
