3
I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning
How and why
I can't remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
An execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me why!
I was a boy who had to live his own way
I never fit into the model they had designed
I chose a path less taken
I stood when others who had nothing felt the same
We got our stares from passersby
Our dark attire seemed to frighten people away
And when the three young boys died
They pointed fingers and entangled us in a lie
No hope in sight
I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified)
Won't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives
Why was everybody so damn afraid?
They blame the devil for the heinousness of the crime
They justify their own faith
We were labeled pawns of Satan for a time
The three of us were attacked and disgraced
For many hours we were questioned and someone lied
One of us couldn't take it
The simple matter was manipulated in time
Fear made him lie
Now I sit here terrified (Terrified, terrified)
Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives
Now I am terrified (Terrified, terrified, terrified)
Can't someone try to bring the truth to light? (Bring it to light, bring it to light)
Won't anybody open up their eyes? (Open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives (In time, tell me why! Tell me why!)
Can't anybody see through their disguise? (Through their disguise, through their disguise)
Won't they believe we didn't take their lives? (Take their lives, take their lives)
And now the three of us have lost our lives
I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning
How and why?
I can't remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
An execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me why!
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
