cleveland

i never saw your face but i can tell

you're there and waiting at the right hand

satan laughs but i swear

i can hear all the saints on their way down

here come the shirts in brown and black

with the flashing lights

they're hiding

in different colors in the dead of night

they're running waller county

texas where 4

000 died

and down in jackson

mississippi they don't have to hide

but innocence is alive and it's coming back one day

here come the boys in black and white

with the kerosene

it's been the same evil power since in '63

they hang in homewood

alabama with the whitest sheets

and in montgomery county

maryland from a sapling tree

but innocence is alive and it's coming back one day

i don't think you're gonna get away

with the seal i can hear them singing

kindra chapman

brother andre jones

lennon lacy

sandra bland

roosevelt pernell

brother keith warren

brother alfred wright

we're coming back and any day now -- it won't be long. the hand that brings the gavel down

is the hand that ties the noose

the hand that finds you behind

and ties the thirteen loops

but that hand is gonna fold

the day is coming soon

when we fill it full of dust and resurrect the truth

'cause innocence is alive and it's coming back one day
