Testo di Gretna Greene

A purple bruise A fractured limb All covered up with lies A swollen face A bloody tongue This violence denied Empty now and meaningless Ridiculed in shame Until death do us apart Who should take the blame? To live a lie Forgive or die A stricken look A lowered head Reflections, turning back A trembling hand A quickened step The dreaded, next attack Turning from the holy ghost Light and spirit fade Waiting for deliverance Every thing betrayed To live a lie Forgive or die A vacant stare A beat-up faith The book of truth reviled A prayer to God A plea for help Held ransom with the child Wide awake and holding tears Fear that never sleeps Curled up in the bed at night The virgin gently weeps To live a lie Forgive or die
