I'll tell you a story about a man I knew    No Direction to the things he'd do    He never lied Never Compromised    Never Judge you with judging eyes      He didn't mind if you told your story    About love death faith and glory girl      Why Love? Why Hope?    The Hangman is going to tighten the rope    Why must I try neither or us could sympathize       Young mother with a tear in her eye    She never bothered to sympathize    As her son lets out his last breath    One moment closer to death she says      Why Love? Why Hope?    Hangman just tighten the rope    Why must I try? Neither of us could sympathize
