Dreaming Of The Trial

I see a light up ahead, it’s calling me away

From a bitter-calm rest, my courages washes away

Because if I’ve done wrong, I already know

And if I’m gonna stride, better be a step down below

My heart used to pump life, now it just pushes out a chill

Little window to the grave and I’m standing on the sill

I want to say I’m not afraid, but want more not to lie

Oh I’m an open book, babe, even a fire won’t hide

chorus

And there’s only one death I’m gonna die, there’s only one thing waiting on the other side

Oh I can see him now with my naked eye turning page after page, burning truth after lie

And I dream, I dream of the trial

Don’t want to look at the face that saw me make mistakes

Don’t want to feel those eyes, don’t want to live under their gaze

I can’t keep holding the hand that I pulled through my lies

Can’t live to be the man who watches a good woman die

chorus
