Dexter A Duo - Bound By Decree Lyrics

In the shadows of the ancient streets
We walked our path bound by decrees
With orders clear our duty set
To silence one we can't forget
We are the ones who held the nails
Drove them through amidst the wails
With hardened hearts and blinded eyes
We played our part we told the lies
He spoke of love a kingdom near
Yet fear and power drew us here
The crowd cried out Let him be slain!
In that moment we shared the blame
We are the ones who held the nails
Drove them through amidst the wails
With hardened hearts and blinded eyes
We played our part we told the lies
As darkness fell and earth did quake
Our souls were shaken hearts did break
We saw the truth too late to change
Our actions marked our souls estranged
We are the ones who held the nails
Drove them through amidst the wails
With hardened hearts and blinded eyes
We played our part we told the lies
He spoke of love a kingdom near
Yet fear and power drew us here
The crowd cried out Let him be slain!
In that moment we shared the blame
As darkness fell and earth did quake
Our souls were shaken hearts did break
We saw the truth too late to change
Our actions marked our souls estranged
Now haunted by the cries and pain
The echo of the innocent slain
In dreams we see his face so pure
A love we spurned a wound unsure
We are the ones who held the nails
Drove them through amidst the wails
With hardened hearts and blinded eyes
We played our part we told the lies
In shadows deep we bear the cost
Of innocence and love we lost
For in the end his grace remains
Even for those who brought the chains
