Testo Justice & Mercy - Ward Thomas
Testo della canzone Justice & Mercy (Ward Thomas), tratta dall'album Loved By You
Grew up in a small town
Burned his own house down
Before he hit the age of eight
His mother took flight
And left him behind
And then there was hell to pay
They said he had a friend
That followed where he went
And covered his tracks but then
His friend took his bike
And wrecked it one night
And he was never seen again
Some said, "What we gonna do?
The devil had a baby and he's coming for you"
Some said, "He can be saved"
They got together and they knelt to pray
Half the town cried mercy
Half the town cried justice
And nobody got their way
Years turned to ghosts
On the low road
He left a trail of pain
He swindled the good
In each neighborhood
And ran with no trace of shame
Romancing robber
Fraudulent father
He had a hundred names
But the word of mouth
Across the whole south
Was he was the one to blame
Some said, "What we gonna do?
The devil had a baby and he's coming for you"
Some said, "He can be saved"
They got together and they knelt to pray
Half the town cried mercy
Half the town cried justice
And nobody got their way
One stormy night
They caught him hiding
Or so the story goes
As the townspeople argued
He was struck by a lightning bolt
Some said, "Let's celebrate
He's gone to hell and we're finally safe"
Some said, "God is great"
They got together for his soul to pray
Half the town cried mercy
Half the town cried justice
It is what it is either way
