No one knows who gave the orders

No one asks about the crime

No one looks behind the curtain

No one questions why

The only time we've 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



Tonight's the test

Tonight's the time

I am the punishment

That fits the crime

I'll break the bricks

I'll pick the locks

I don't got nothin'

But I'll give what I got



I'll never turn

I'll never bend

I'm with you now

Until the end



Ten trials whose outcomes

All fixed from the start

Nine judges sitting counting

Their money in the dark

Eight towers of iron

Surround the desert town

On a cold December morning

Seven martyrs knocked them down

Six fathers still waiting

For their six sons to come home

Five mothers who know better

And accept that they're gone

Four years I've been hunted

Still I breathe free

Three times I shot the sheriff

And did not spare the deputy



Two prayers I'm praying

Until we're together

One promise I'm keeping

Tonight and forever



I'll never turn

I'll never bend

I'm with you now

Until the end
