Lyrics
Cleveland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never saw your face but I can tell
You're there and waiting at the right hand
Satan laughs but I swear
I can hear all the saints on their way down
Here come the shirts in brown and black
With the flashing lights
They're hiding
In different colors in the dead of night
They're running waller county, Texas where 4000 died
And down in jackson, Mississippi they don't have to hide
But innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
Here come the (m) boys in black and white
With the kerosene
It's been the same evil power since in ‘63
They hang in homewood, Alabama with the whitest sheets
And in montgomery county, Maryland from a sapling tree
But innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
I don't think you're gonna get away
With the seal I can hear them singing
Kindra chapman (we're coming back)
Brother andre jones (we're coming back)
Lennon lacy (we're coming back)
Sandra bland (we're coming back)
Roosevelt pernell (we're coming back)
Brother keith warren (we're coming back)
Brother alfred wright (we're coming back)
We're coming back and any day now it won't be long
The hand that brings the gavel down is the hand that ties the noose
The hand that finds you behind and ties the thirteen loops
But that hand is gonna fold the day is coming soon
When we fill it full of dust and resurrect the truth
'Cause innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
