The Judgment Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The [D]word[Am]s[D][Am]
are the thunder,
the [G]thought is the lightning
The [F]telling of the [E]tale is
[Am]the storm
The defendant must be guilty
as [G]he waits impatiently
As the [F]wooden stake is driven
And [E]the angel [Am]sounds the horn
[D][Am]

[Verse 2]
The cornered Lion is not within
the realm of [G]reason
[F]Fear is like the [E]cracking of the [Am]lash
You want to run, you want to fight
[G]Lightning flashes in the night
[F]You finally turn away to hide [E]your face
As the [F]judges file [E]in to take
their [Am]places

[Verse 3]
You got to [C]hold [G]your gro[Am]und
[C]Hold your [G]ground like [Am]a man
[C]Sometimes you've [G]just got to
[Am]hold your grou[G]nd
[Dm]When the truth has fi[C]nally been [F]tasted
You can tell them all [E]their time has not [Am]been wasted
