The Trial
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.
He called me to pay my debts
The crack in his voice was a sign of regret
A deal he proposed of mutual benefit
But the knot in my gut told me to stand back
How could you presume the remedy for the unknown?
Liquefied asphyxiation
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Take the drugs to numb the senses
Sweet euphoria
When the last drop has fallen
Inject the deadliest poison
Falling away from insanity
Sweet euphoria
How could the dawn wait a moment?
The nights are the shortest
The court has been summoned
Bring in the accused
I plead the fifth, he yelled
When asked to take the stand
Your are certified fraud, one of the best
But it's not your life on trial
It's the chance to make amends
Pour that man another
Cause he might let you bleed
If you're nice
Salvation always a price
Take the drugs to numb the senses
Sweet euphoria
When the last drop has fallen
Inject the deadliest poison
Falling away from insanity
Sweet euphoria
How could the dawn wait a moment?
The nights are the shortest
