Innocence Under Trial

{tense building acoustic guitar and cello} (mhmmmmm) {cold

open}

They got the handcuffs on my wrists,

pointing lines at the floor Swearing I was the one behind that

heavy metal door But I was miles away beneath the water tower

light And they don't care about the truth

tonight {plaintive acoustic guitar,

quiet bass drum thump} My sister's tracing back the times,

my mother's on the phone

They swear they're never gonna let me face this cage alone {percussion

swells, acoustic guitar intensifies} They're building the walls,

they're preparing the cell But my blood's gonna fight through this living

hell

We’re digging up proof in the dead of the night Yeah,

we're bringing the truth to the light (we're gonna bring it back)

{full band explosion, driving drums,

electric guitar swells} Dad spent his savings on the lawyer with the

name

To prove a shadow in the dark was playing with the blame

They found the ticket from the toll,

the alibi is clear

Just hold the line and keep

away

the fear

{softer groove, rhythmic shaker,

acoustic guitar}

We're bringing the truth

to the light (oh,

we're going home)

Yeah, we're bringing the truth

to the light

{soaring cello and acoustic guitar fading out,

final single bass thump}
