Innocent

Accused of something I did not

My death day has come

They put the noose around my neck

I am pushed up upon a step

A barrel below me

But I cannot see

A sack tied around my head

I can feel the hot blade graze me

Laughter in the crowd

This is entertainment

Tears prick my eyes

I'm about to die, accused of something I did not

My hands tremble behind my back

The barrel is swiftly kicked

As I stand there, hanging in the wind

Swaying with the wind

The killed an innocent

I was an innocent, but not believed

I now sway in the wind with others

We were innocent
