Lyrics
It all began when they took me from
My home and put me on Death Row
A crime for which I am totally innocent
You know
I began to warm and chill to objects
And their fields a ragged cup, a twisted
Mop the face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals the meal
Trolley's wicked wheels ahooked bone
Rising from my food all things either
Good or ungood
And the mercy seat is waiting and
I think my head is burning and in a
Way I'm yearning to be done with all
This weighing of the truth an eye for
An eye and a tooth for a tooth and
Anyway I told the truth and I'm not
Afraid to die
I hear stories from the chamber christ
Was born into a manger and like some
Ragged stranger he died upon the cross
Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade or at least
That's what I'm told my kill-hand's
Tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to
Challenge or resist in Heaven His throne
Is made of gold the ark of his Testament
Is stowed a throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold it's made of
Wood and wire and my body is on fire
And God is never far away into the mercy
Seat I climb my head is shaved, my head
Is wired and like a moth that tries to
Enter the bright eye i go shuffling out
Of life just to hide in death awhile and
Anyway I never lied
And the mercy seat is waiting and
I think my head is burning and in a
Way I'm yearning to be done with all
This weighing of the truth an eye for
An eye and a tooth for a tooth and
Anyway I told the truth and I'm not
Afraid to die
And the mercy seat is burning and
I think my head is glowing and in a
Way I'm hopin' to be done with all
This twisting of the truth an eye for
An eye and a tooth for a tooth and
Any way there was no proof and I'm
Not afraid to die and the mercy seat
Is glowing and I think my head is
Smoking and in a way I'm hoping to
Be done with all these looks of disbelief
A life for a life and a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose and
I'm not afraid to die and the mercy
Seat is smoking and I think my head
Is melting and in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twisting of the
Truth an eye for an eye and a tooth for
A tooth and any way I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie
