the judgement
The accused will rise to be torn in two Guilty of nothing but loving you This is the judgment  And I'm willing to plead How you don't want me Hoping this torment will cease Will I be released  There'll be lies, there'll be tears A jury of your peers With a pitiful lack of experience Hand down the judgment  And if I done wrong And loved you too long Stand up and just testify How can I deny  Objection overruled I wait for my reprieve With the trust of the deceived The wisdom of the fool  It's his sorrowful face Too heavy for his head 'Cause he bowed it as something come over him It was the judgment  He falls to his knees Have mercy on me He clings to the hem of her gown She says, "Just take him down."
