The falsely accused

How could they know?

The beast that lay in wait

Wanting the darkness to flee

Nothing can stain their perfect establishment

Because down by the water was the monster

All their frightening nightmares seemed to be about

The creature inside me 

Clawing for a place

Badges and guns

Arrested for a crime these bloodied hands did not commit

Sun sinking down on me

And they stood fast to accuse

That noose

No escape just the humiliation of false reality

Stones smacking into me

Punished for the precious mayors sins

My heroic act landed me here on deaths pale white horse

While he stood smiling to watch the local outcast

Swing in circles

A broken neck

But now nobody comes here

Because I haunt this hell

And their fear drives them all away
