The State Vs. Thomas Light

Emily, the crowd has gathered here
 But it is not because of you
 Emily, the taste of blood in their mouths
 I can't imagine what they'll do
 But it doesn't matter what they'll do to me
 Emily, have they forgotten you
 When they set their sights on me?
 They will hang me from the rope tonight
 Will you be waiting there for me?
 Will our souls remember where we said we'd meet
 On the way out of this town?
 I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily
 There's nothing left here for me now
 Emily, it's so quiet now
 It's like the calm before a storm
 They will punish me for what he did to you
 But either way it's all my fault
 'Cause I made the man who laid his hands on you
 And I would tear him down, but I feel like a dead man
 What can a dead man do?
 (This is not your fault!)
 I'm leaving one way or the other, Emily
 (This is not your fault!)
 There's nothing left here for me now!
 Here comes the blow
 We find the only man who loved her...
 We find the only man who'd give his life
 To see her once again... We find this man...
 (Not guilty!)
 Guilty! I am guilty!
 I am guilty!
