That night I went outside ready to die
I saw them beating him down and
I forgot myself chasing them off
The wind that used to whistle in my ears
Now it has returned like a curse
And all the righteous never know
The weight the damned must bear
There was a time when I was so afraid to die
Now I only close my eyes and
Hope to forget what I have done
When I went and tried to give the money back
They just laughed in my face and turned me away
And all the righteous never know
The weight the damned must bear
Soon enough I won't worry anymore
And the stones that they throw, they won't reach me anymore
And one day soon the damned and the righteous will stand on that judgement floor
And they will all see what it was I did it for
I will be counted in His number when we rise again
They will all see what I did for, all of them
I did it for all of them
