No one knows who gave the orders, no one asks about the crime
No one looks behind the curtain and no one questions why
The only time we've got is right about now
I cross my heart, I take the vow

I'll never turn, I'll never bend
I'm with you now until the end

Tonight's the test, tonight's the time
I am the punishment that fits the crime
I'll break the bricks, I'll pick the locks
I don't got nothin' but I'll give what I got

I'll never turn, I'll never bend
I'm with you now until the end

Ten trials whose outcomes all fixed from the start
Nine judges sitting counting their money in the dark
Eight towers of iron surround the desert town
On a cold December morning, seven martyrs knocked them down

Six fathers still waiting for their six sons to come home
Five mothers who know better and accept that they're gone
Four years I've been hunted, still I breathe free
Three times I shot the sheriff and did not spare the deputy

Two prayers I'm praying until we're together
One promise I'm keeping tonight and forever

I'll never turn, I'll never bend
I'm with you now until the end

I'll never turn, I'll never bend
I'm with you now until the end
