I was just a young boy
When that man came to this town
We got no sign or warning
It was their final morning

The wind was howling murder
When he was calling out their names
The ones that he had come for
To fill their fate

And the scars on his face
Made us all look away
As his eyes blazed with rage
Seeking vengeance for

Refrain:
Fifteen years
Convicted, locked away
They'd forgotten their fears
He was gone away forever
Trial of rage
The years were washed away
With the blood of the same
Guilty who gave out his name

Did they hear their destiny calling
Did they dream the hammer fall
Too scared to run away
To live another day

Were the shadows in the corners
Whispering his name
Were they dreaming of forgiveness
Til it was too late

And the scars on his face
Made us all look away
As his eyes blazed with rage
Seeking vengeance for

Refrain

Oh, it was a trial of rage
Yeah, and they were all guilty

Refrain

He buried them in flames
Guilty who gave out his name
Spitting on their grave
Guilty who gave out his name
