"Man Of Conviction"

God blessed is a man of conviction
When there's evidence enough to convict him
Should we stand by the side of the victim?
And find strength enough to forgive him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending
He's a sinner or saint for defending

The bastard passed out in his breathing
Pour salt in the wounds of the needy
And the blood from the cut that is sealing
And you gasp in the air were you?re breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending
He's a sinner or saint for defending

Our hero is gone
