The Trial Lyrics

The Trial lyrics

...as demanded by the prosecuting attorney the jury find him guilty and
subsequently he is sentenced to death. His bitter ordeal begins...   He says, I
pulled the trigger, fearless and cool A murderer with intention, hardened like
old school A cold-blooded man, holding up a store A calculated plan, to enforce
what he's heading for Once I learned 'eye for eye', now I get pain for pain He
wants me to die, I talk 'bout the D. A. He's counting 'life for life', he's
showing up my way He says, there's a lot thats due - There are three ways to
pay:  For the bereaved we've got to dare Electric chair, death can be fair The
draft of death gas chamber's breath Leads him to death, lock up the door! A
lethal dose, a gift from God Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog The draft of
death, gas chamber's breath Leads him to death, lock up the door!  I'm facing
judge and jury, the victim's families The actors of this play, of this criminal
case The jury listen to, the words of the D. A. If they follow his request, I
will be erased: We've got to free the world From the burdon of this beast With
his loss of life, other people will find peace The punishment is fair, his
guilt can't be denied The rules should be clear right now, There are three ways
to die:  For the bereaved, we've got to dare Electric chair, death can be fair
The draft of death, gas chamber's breath Leads him to death, lock up the door!
A lethal dose, a gift from God Puts him to sleep, smoothe like a dog The draft
of death, gas chamber's breath Leads him to death, lock up the door!  I've
heard their words, I've heard them all Can't believe they're talking about me
They made my hope rise and fall Now a real way out I cannot see All these
feelings come down on me I've lost the gleam of hope, is this reality? It might
come back again...  I loved my life, they proved me wrong, I've buried dreams,
I've buried plans Maybe they're right, what have I done? I killed two people,
here I am All these feelings come down on me I've lost the gleam of hope, is
this reality? Will it come back again?
