Warden Lyrics - Tidal Eyes - The Queen Killing Kings

Same old story for the Warden 

We're all innocent men 

Tell the state we need pardon 

For many things we never did 

Tell my wife I'm waiting for parole 

Tell my kids I'm not a criminal 

When the guards come and pull me from the dark 

Take me on a walk out in the yard 

Where talking with the Priest and the Doctor, the Warden and the Driver from the Coroner's office 

Same old story from the warden 

Your conviction still stands 

Don't tell me you have forgotten 

You killed your wife and your kids 

All my nights I've waited for their ghosts 

To tell them I am not a criminal 

And did I go crazy in the dark? 

How many years have I been locked up in this place? 

And the Guards are taking me to a chamber, room full of strangers 

What could this mean? 

Everyone was looking 'round, they watched the clock counting down 

What could this be? 

Suddenly I start to choke, the room is filling up with smoke 

What could this mean?
