no one knows who gave the orders
no one asks about the crime
no one looks behind the curtains
no one questions why
the only time we got
is right about now
i cross my heart
i take the vow
i'll never turn
i'll never bend
i'm with ya now
until the end
tonight's the test
tonight's the time
i am the punishment
that fits the crime
i'll break the bricks
i'll pick the locks
i don't got nothing
but i'll give what i got
i'll never turn
i'll never bend
i'm with ya now
until the end
10 trials whose outcome
all fixed from the start
9 judges sitting countin'
there money in the dark
8 towers of iron
surround the desert town
on a cold december mornin'
7 martyrs knock them down
6 fathers still waiting
for there sons to come home
5 mothers who know better
and accept that there gone
4 years i've been hunted
still i breathe free
3 times i shot the sheriff
and did not spare the deputy
2 prayers i'm prayin'
until were together
1 promise that i'm keeping
tonight and forever
i'll never turn
i'll never bend
i'm with ya now
until the end
