Such an awful, tragic night Though I've only done what's right But even with my conscience clear I can't help this flood of tears I've got my eye on the finish line Got my eye on the finish line Got my eye on the finish line Though I've been striving for their good I will be misunderstood Even my own darling dear Misconstrued my words so clear Given the time I think she would have understood That it was for the greater good Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky Leaving this wicked world behind It's strange that it should end this way But martyrs never have a say
