||||||
|

Lyrics
I once shared a dream with a man of a cause
You could tell from his voice there was never a choice There was only one path and they stood in our way Now I'm sentenced to die for these glorious days I fought for survival for freedom of rights And God was on my side I did what I had to I did what I could For this brotherhood For our brotherhood I'm the scapegoat because I would never deny Commited no crimes I fought on the right side I will always see faces of men that I've killed 'cause my soul is tainted with the blood that I've spilled Won't go down on my knees I won't beg I won't pleed 'cause you still will kill me Then you'll be the killer and I'll be the ghost That'll haunt you the most |
