A Walk To The Gallows
So long ago I washed the blood away
Why are my hands still stained?
They buried you beneath the ground
And still your ghost remains
One thousand voices scream
But still I hear you calling
Why can’t I face you?
I spoke with a holy man
He said that God forgave me
He said Jesus saves
But he couldn’t save you
When the ground drops out
And they cut me down,
Will they bury me
With the sins they’ve found?
