TRACK 23: THESE HANDS

CREATURE:

THESE HANDS
HOW I FEAR FOR THESE HANDS
HOW I WONDER IF EVER HAD THESE HANDS BEEN HELD WITH COMPASSION
COULD THEY DO WHAT THEY'VE DONE...
THESE HANDS?

AND WHAT OF THESE EYES?
BLIND WITH HATE ARE THESE EYES
COULD IT ONCE BE THAT
SOMEONE GAZED INTO THESE EYES WITH AFFECTION
AND SAW GOOD DEEP WITHIN THESE EYES?

AND WHY...
HAVING TASTED OF VENGEANCE
DO THESE LIPS CURL WITH MADNESS AND PAIN?
CRYING IN VAIN:
"A SOUL THAT COULD LOVE IS NOW
HELPLESSLY CHAINED TO
THESE HANDS!"

AND THESE EARS STILL HEAR HER CRYING
AND WILL NEVER KNOW LAUGHTER OR SONG
EVER SO LONG AS BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT RUNS RED UPON
THESE HANDS

THESE DETESTABLE HANDS
AND THIS TERRIBLE HIDE WITH ITS POISON INSIDE
HATED LIMBS AND FOUL HEART
I WOULD TEAR THEM APART
IF I ONLY COULD FEEL WHAT I FELT WHEN I HELD HER WITHIN
THESE HANDS

UNFORGIVING, UNMERCIFUL HANDS
THESE UNFEELING, CONTEMPTIBLE HANDS
AND OUR END WILL NOT COME
UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE BY THIS... MAN!
