[00:02.310]It all began when they took me from my home [00:04.990]And put me on Death Row, [00:06.800]a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know. [00:10.790] [00:12.220]I began to warm and chill [00:14.030] [00:15.030]To objects and their fields, [00:17.530]A ragged cup, a twisted mop [00:19.470] [00:20.150]The face of Jesus in my soup [00:22.270] [00:22.960]Those sinister dinner deals [00:24.890] [00:25.580]The meal trolley's wicked wheels [00:27.450] [00:28.330]A hooked bone rising from my food [00:31.130]All things either good or ungood. [00:33.880]And the mercy seat is waiting [00:35.870] [00:36.430]And I think my head is burning [00:39.110]And in a way I\'m yearning [00:41.240]To be done with all this weighing of the truth. [00:45.050]An eye for an eye [00:46.480]And a tooth for a tooth [00:47.850]And anyway I told the truth [00:50.230] [00:50.910]And I'm not afraid to die. [00:52.910] [00:59.030]I hear stories from the chamber [01:01.710]Christ was born into a manger [01:04.270]And like some ragged stranger [01:06.510]He died upon the cross [01:08.570]Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way [01:12.570]He was a carpenter by trade [01:15.430]Or at least that's what I'm told [01:18.250] [01:23.490]My kill-hand's [01:24.610]tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist [01:27.980] [01:28.970]That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resit [01:34.410]In Heaven His throne is made of gold [01:37.410]The ark of his Testament is stowed [01:40.030]A throne from which I\'m told All history does unfold. [01:43.760] [01:44.580]It's made of wood and wire [01:47.140]And my body is on fire [01:49.380] [01:50.810]And God is never far away. [01:53.750]Into the mercy seat I climb [01:56.430]My head is shaved, my head is wired [01:59.180]And like a moth that tries [02:01.180]To enter the bright eye [02:03.420]I go shuffling out of life [02:06.240]Just to hide in death awhile [02:09.040] [02:10.230]And anyway I never lied. [02:13.150]And the mercy seat is waiting [02:15.770]And I think my head is burning [02:17.900] [02:18.460]And in a way I'm yearning [02:20.580]To be done with all this weighing of the truth. [02:24.270]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth [02:27.510]And anyway I told the truth And I\'m not afraid to die [02:32.570]And the mercy seat is burning [02:34.870]And I think my head is glowing [02:37.120] [02:37.810]And in a way I'm hopin' [02:40.110]to be done with all this twistin' of the truth. [02:43.610]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth [02:46.170]And any way there was no proof And I\'m not afraid to die [02:51.730]And the mercy seat is glowing [02:54.350]And I think my head is smoking [02:56.520] [02:57.090]And in a way I'm hopin' [02:58.640]to be done with all these looks of disbelief. [03:02.770]A life for a life And a truth for a truth [03:05.690]And I've got nothin' left to loose. [03:08.690]And I'm not afraid to die [03:11.070]And the mercy seat is smoking [03:13.060] [03:13.750]And I think my head is melting [03:15.620] [03:16.190]And in a way that's helpin' to be done with all this twistin' of the truth [03:22.050]An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth [03:24.670]And any way I told the truth [03:27.670]But I'm afraid I told a lie.
