No one knows who gave the orders
no one asks about the crime
no one looks behind the curtain
and no one questions why
the only time we got
is right about now
I cross my heart
I take the vow
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
I'm with you now
until the end
tonights the test
tonights the time
I am the punishement
that fits the crime
I'll break the bricks
I'll pick the locks
I dont got nothing
but i'll give what I got
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
I'm with you now
until the end
10 trials whose outcomes
all fixed from the start
9 judges sittin countin
their money in the dark
8 towers of iron
surround the desert town
on a cold december morning
7 martyrs knocked them down
4 fathers still waiting
for their 5 sons to come home
6 mothers who know better
and accept that their gone
4 years ive been hunted
and still i breathe free
3 times I shot the sherrif
and did not spare the deputy
2 prayers im praying
until were together
1 promise im keeping
tonight and forever
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
im with you now
until the end
I'll never turn
I'll never bend
im with you now
until the end
