| It took a blow to the head
|
| And I realized what I
|
| Was put on this earth to achieve
|
| It showed me the way
|
| So make an example of me
|
| Hang me up from the tallest tree
|
| Make an example of me
|
| This is not the voice of reason
|
| It’s the cross I was chosen to bear
|
| This is not the voice of reason
|
| My time has surely come
|
| I’m as guilty as can be
|
| This is treason
|
| In the first degree
|
| Now the gallows tree
|
| She calls to me my name
|
| There can be no reprieve for me now
|
| In this lifetime
|
| This is not the voice of reason
|
| It’s the cross I was chosen to bear
|
| This is not the voice of reason
|
| Make an example of me
|
| Make an example of me |
