Jury of memoryHereI seeevery mistake that I'vemadeI stand to facethe jury of memoryThoughI'mthe judge I knowIcouldn't go freeEvery scene comes back to me as itreplaysin my mind
Why did I do thatWhy did I not realise the truth staringme in the eyes?Why did I do thatCan't stop myselffalling it's like walking ontheair
Stand before my memory's juryWhatever I say I'mguiltyStand before a jury of threeThe past, the present andthe future hold me to blame
Judgment day neverendingInner critic unforgivingMy virtues vapourisebefore the flameWhatever I try it's an endeavour in vain
Why did I do that?Whydo I not realise follow my instinct when I knowit can't be rightWhy did I do that?Why?
Thou art weighed in the balanceAnd found wanting, wantingThou hast strayed too farSurrender to the light
And why shall I defend myselfThere is nothingto defendNo one but this sinner before your eyesI won't even try to justify the sorrowthat I've caused
Here I see the mistakes I have madeMaybe I survived the battle but the scars won't fade
Stand before my memory's juryWhatever I say I'm guiltyStand before a jury of threeThe past the present andthe future hold me to blameI'll take your charges as justifiedHow thoughtless I could beNot to see your truthThere is nothing to defendI have nothing to defend
