Template:The Judgement

From ElvisCostello

The accused will rise

To be torn in two

Guilty of nothing but loving you

This is the judgement


And I'm willing to plead

Now you don't want me

Hoping this torment will cease

Will I be released?


There'll be lies

There'll be tears

A jury of your peers

With the pitiful look of experience

Hand down the judgement


And if I've done wrong

And loved you too long

Stand up and just testify

How can you deny it?


Objection overruled

I wait for my reprieve

With trust of the deceived

The wisdom of the fooled


Is his sorrowful face too heavy for his head?

'Cos he bowed it as something hung over him

It was the judgement


He falls to his knees

"Have mercy on me"

He clings to the hem of her gown

She says, "Just take him down"
