you be right and i'll be alone
i only want what i can own
i won't take what's not there
i'm a thief, a thief who's fair
(glory be)
i hit my head, real hard
gave up my home, let down my guard
can't remember how i fell,
or who i love - ah, it's swell
(glory be)
they say i killed seven girls
raped their mates and kept their curls
though i don't feel any guilt
i'm in this cage that they built
(glory be)
i watch them beat me and i wonder why
pride's so important beneath the sky
they put my mistakes on display
in townsquare, in the light of day
they all scoffed in disgust and shock
and taunted me with a key and lock
(glory be)
a pregnant mind, my dreams are wild
i could never guess the father's child
my mind is blank and my heart is full
i can feel it kick, i can taste the pull
(glory be)
"what fools they are", i sigh to the moon
to think their mistakes won't hit them too
and don't pointed fingers know so well
the twists and turns that lead to hell?
"forgive me father for i have sinned"
i whispered with ease as i grinned
(glory be)
my skin, it changed, one moonlit night
slipped through the bars and out of sight
and now i'm free, though pushed away
rejection is a small price to pay
(glory be)
the past seven me's didn't have to die
said they'd redeem me if i could cry
but pretty faces shouldn't pry
and god, oh, god, you should've tried
down there you can't hear my song
singin', "i was truth, to be so wrong"
as i'm floating above the mountain's peak
he tries to joke, tears choking speech
you paid to have me crucified
you thought i'd rise and be your bride
so, you be right and i'll be alone
my back is turned, i found my throne.
(glory be)
(glory be)
(glory be)
