Lyrics
Dead To Rights
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 stood
With terror flowing through my veins
Before a judge that could see past
The white mask that hid my shame
With terror flowing through my veins
All of heaven and earth
Hid themselves from his face
And wrath is all I could see
As I looked back
Over my faded memories
I sold my soul and lost my destiny
I let selfish ambition get the best of me
Exposed for my arrogance
And justice demands my conviction
Dead to rights
He took my place and saved my life
He had me dead to rights
He took my place and saved my life
There was no way out for me
I had blood on my hands
Guilty! Guilty!
Blood on my hands
Guilty! Guilty!
Alone, I turned to hear my advocate saying
"Father, forgive him. My blood is sufficient for him."
Though I had nothing left to give
It had already been given as perfect provision
So, gladly, I gave my life
To the only one who could save my life
Dead to rights
He took my place and saved my life
He had me dead to rights
He took my place and saved my life
No one is innocent
There is hope
But what if no one is listening?
No one is innocent
There is hope
But what if no one is listening?
This is the second death
No one is innocent
This is the second death
No one is innocent
This is the second death
