[Chorus]
The accused will rise to be torn in two
Guilty of nothing but loving you
This is the judgement
[Verse 1]
And I'm willing to plead
How you don't want me
Hoping this torment will cease
Will I be released?
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
[Outro]
He falls to his knees
Have mercy on me
He clings to the hem of her gown
She says, "Just take him down
