ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "The Judgement"

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
How 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 a pitiful lack of experience

Hand down the judgement

And if I done wrong

And loved you too long
Stand up and just testify
How can I deny?


Objection overruled
I wait for my reprieve

With the trust of the deceived
The wisdom of the fool


It's his sorrowful face
Too heavy for his head
Cos he bowed it as something come 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."
