The Trial
THE AGONIST · Five 2016 · Track 12 of 13
Written by The Agonist
He called me to pay my debts The crack in his voice was a sign of regret A deal he proposed of mutual benefit But the knot in my gut told me to stand back
How could you presume the remedy for the unknown? Liquefied asphyxiation Desperate times call for desperate measures
Take the drugs to numb the senses Sweet euphoria... When the last drop has fallen Inject the deadliest poison
Falling away from insanity Sweet euphoria... How could the dawn wait a moment? The nights are the shortest
The court has been summoned Bring in the accused "I plead the fifth", he yelled When asked to take the stand Your are certified fraud, one of the best But it's not your life on trial It's the chance to make amends
Pour that man another Cause he might let you bleed If you're nice Salvation always a price
Take the drugs to numb the senses Sweet euphoria... When the last drop has fallen Inject the deadliest poison
Falling away from insanity Sweet euphoria... How could the dawn wait a moment? The nights are the shortest
