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 with others who had often 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 With 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; answered in line 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 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
Can 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!
