Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Such an awful, tragic night
Though I've only done what's right
Even with my conscience clear
I can't help this flood of tears

I've got my eye on the finish line

Though I've been striving for their good
I will be misunderstood
Even my own darling dear
Misconstrued what was so clear

Given the time I think she would have understood
That it was for the greater good
Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky
Leaving this wicked world behind

It's strange that it should end this way
But martyrs never have a say
Such an awful, tragic night   Though I've only done what's right   Even with my conscience clear   I can't help this flood of tears      I've got my eye on the finish line      Though I've been striving for their good   I will be misunderstood   Even my own darling dear   Misconstrued what was so clear      Given the time I think she would have understood   That it was for the greater good   Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky   Leaving this wicked world behind      It's strange that it should end this way   But martyrs never have a say
