Daylight gone, nighttime come   I hear the executioner's song   And I, I say my prayer   The color of darkness, wages of sin   Crime of innocence   A case of doubt on your hands   I say my prayer   I remember when I used to run free   Without a judge, without a jury   And the world was mine, all mine   Yeah, all the little things mean alot   When emptiness is all   You've got on your mind   Doin' time, I say my prayer   Say my prayer   The color of blindness, shade of a skin   In the eyes of a witness   Makes me fold my hands   And say my prayer   I remember when I used to run free   Without a judge, without a jury   And the world was mine, all mine   Yeah all the little things mean alot   When emptiness is all   You've got on your mind   Doin' time, doin' time   And you say your prayer   While there's nothin' left   There's nothin' more to expect   And you say your prayer   To yourself and nobody else   Why don't you trust me   Daylight gone, nighttime come   I hear the executioner's song   And I, I say my prayer   Two steps up, nine steps down   One way ticket, ten feet underground   I say my prayer
