Gretna Greene

[00:00.06] A purple bruise,
[00:22.11] A fractured limb,
[00:23.77] All covered up with lies
[00:27.13] A swollen face,
[00:28.88] A bloody tongue,
[00:30.51] This violence denied
[00:34.24] Empty now and meaningless,
[00:37.32] Ridiculed in shame,
[00:40.81] Until death do us apart,
[00:44.26] Who should take the blame?
[00:48.54]
[00:50.96] To live a lie
[00:57.45] Forgive or die
[00:59.81] A stricken look,
[01:02.67] A lowered head,
[01:04.22] Reflections, turning back
[01:07.69] A trembling hand,
[01:09.33] A quickened step,
[01:11.03] The dreaded, next attack
[01:14.57] Turning from the holy ghost,
[01:18.09] Light and spirit fade
[01:21.30] Waiting for deliverance,
[01:24.81] Every thing betrayed
[01:29.21]
[01:56.62] To live a lie
[01:56.82] Forgive or die
[01:59.06]
[02:28.60] A vacant stare,
[02:29.79] A beat-up faith,
[02:31.76] The book of truth reviled
[02:35.16] A prayer to God,
[02:36.94] A plea for help,
[02:38.41] Held ransom with the child
[02:42.07] Wide awake and holding tears,
[02:45.51] Fear that never sleeps,
[02:48.82] Curled up in the bed at night,
[02:52.14] The virgin gently weeps
[02:56.78]
[03:05.74] To live a lie
[03:16.62]
[03:18.91] Forgive or die.
