The Judgement lyrics
Song information
Artist: Elvis Costello Album: The Delivery Man
Lyrics
The accused will rise to be torn in two Guilty of nothing but loving you This is the judgement
And I'm willing to plead How you don't want me Hoping this torment will cease Will I be released?
There'll be lies, there'll be tears A jury of your peers With a pitiful lack of experience Hand down the judgement
And if I done wrong And loved you too long Stand up and just testify How can I deny?
Objection overruled I wait for my reprieve With the trust of the deceived The wisdom of the fool
It's his sorrowful face Too heavy for his head Cos he bowed it as something come over him It was the judgement
He falls to his knees Have mercy on me He clings to the hem of her gown She says, "just take him down."
