The Innocent Man
The gavel takes
An innocent man to his grave
With its bang and call
It has the final say
Whether the verdict holds the truth, or if it's a lie anyway
The black robe has eyes and ears
Holds power, yet causes fear
Might know not a thing, but he preaches what his heart must feel
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
Cause it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
I'm an Innocent Man
If ten long years are to pass
Well I'm proven free, well at last
I'm stuck without a soul
And my father can't get past a lie once told
But I'm an Innocent Man
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I've cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
But it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
But it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
I'm an Innocent Man
An innocent man to his grave
With its bang and call
It has the final say
Whether the verdict holds the truth, or if it's a lie anyway
The black robe has eyes and ears
Holds power, yet causes fear
Might know not a thing, but he preaches what his heart must feel
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
Cause it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
I'm an Innocent Man
If ten long years are to pass
Well I'm proven free, well at last
I'm stuck without a soul
And my father can't get past a lie once told
But I'm an Innocent Man
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I've cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
But it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
Couldn't you see it in my eyes
The fear that I cried
Sure, I've shown no remorse
But it's not mine to hold
How could you accept the falsity
Let's go with that it had to be
The lord will always know my name, as I sit
In someone else's ball and chain
I'm an Innocent Man
