WALLS
(Michael Parker and Jerry Hughes)

I stepped out and saw my brother fall
And his killer fade to black
Bathed in blood I gripped that blade
And ripped it from his back

I proclaimed my innocence
As the cuffs slipped round my wrists
I had the right to remain silent
But I cried beneath blue fists

No bail, no chance, no voice, no choice
Judges wrath the jury smiling
Thanks for playing, don’t pass go
You’re off to ride the lightning… you’re gonna

CHORUS:
Scream-you can scream, and scream, and scream
Forever, down darkened prisoned halls
You can fight-and fight and fight
But you'll never gonna tear down never gonna climb the walls


Warden Sparks wrenched on those leather straps
That numbed MY FEET AND HANDS
Reverend Dewitt flipped his bible shut
Strangers sneered behind the glass

A nameless LAWMAN threw THE SWITCH
My guilt beyond all question
As hellfire ripped right through my heart
They cheered to see my ending…

CHORUS

And laughing by the gates there stood
A killer spared for now
But my soul will drift heavenward
As demons drag him down

CHORUS

Bridge
I’m the only one not guilty; I’m the only one not guilty
I’m the only one not guilty and they killed me, yeah, they killed me
I’m the only one not guilty; I’m the only one not guilty
I’m the only one not guilty and they killed me, yeah, they killed me

CHORUS
