I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning
How and why?
I cant remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
And execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me why!
I was a boy who had to live his own way
I never fit into the model they had designed
I chose a path less taken
I stood with others who had often felt the same
We got stares from passersby
Our dark attire seemed to frighten people away
And when three young boys died
They pointed fingers and entangled us in a lie!
No hope in sight
I sit here terrified!
(terrified, terrified)
Cant someone try to bring the truth to light?
(bring it to light, bring it to light)
Wont anybody open up their eyes?
(open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives!

Why was everybody so damn afraid?
They blamed the devil for the heinousness of the crime
And to justify their own faith
We were labeled followers of Satan for a time
The three of us were attacked and disgraced
For many hours we were questioned and someone lied
One of us couldnt take it
His simple manner was manipulated in time
Fear made him lie
Now I sit here terrified!
(terrified, terrified)
Cant someone try to bring the truth to light?
(bring it to light, bring it to light)
Wont anybody open up their eyes?
(open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lost our lives!
Now I am terrified!
(terrified, terrified, terrified)
Cant someone try to bring the truth to light?
(bring it to light, bring it to light)
Wont anybody open up their eyes?
(open your eyes, open your eyes)
Before the three of us have lose our lives!
Tell me why (tell me why, tell me why)
Cant anybody see through their disguise?!
(see through their disguise, see through their disguise)
Believe we didnt take their lives!
(take their lives, take their lives)
And now the three of us have lost our lives
I often wonder why I sit and wait to die
What have I done to justify the sentence they gave?
Too many hours spent in darkness questioning
How and why?
I cant remember many moments in the light
This retribution has defiled me to no end
And execution without merit looms ahead
Tell me whyyyyyyy!
