And I never let you

down, alright

Cause it was me

It was only me

And I'll tell them that, ok

But it's over for me now

I'm never gonna see you again

That people could forgive you for

something like this, you know?

But they can't...

They can't end

Thank you Judge

And may you rot in hell...

Sentence a raped women to death

And you all, you are just

bunch of scum, that's what you are

Faith can move mountains

Love would always run away

Everything happens for a reason

For when there's life, there's hope

Hope...
