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 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 nothing 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 with outcomes All fixed from the start Nine judges sitting and 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 five sons to come home Six mothers who know better And accept that they're gone Fours years I've been hunted Still I'll be 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
