The Mark Of The Claw Lyrics - Procol Harum

A question of judgement decided in haste 

A case of malfunction an error of taste 

A moment of madness occasioned by stress 

A classic misjudgment a god-awful mess 

The moment of panic preceding the crash 

The sickening terror the defeating smash 

A loud wail of sirens descend on the scene 

The camera dissolves a crescendo of screams 

The memory's imprinted like some dreadful sore 

The fearful reminder: the mark of the claw 

A question of judgement concerned in the case 

The method of access regarding the place 

The possible motive the absence of blood 

The theories unanswered regarding the thud

The outcome was certain the jury was hung 

Their verdict resolved by ruling of thumb 

The judgement was mercy: they tendered the plea 

The judge raised his hand and the prisoner was free
