The uNSeen Collective - The Georgian Lights Went Out That Night

I saw the signs clear as day
My sweet wife had gone astray
With a man I never knew
But I loved her yes I loved her true
The law came down hard and fast
They took me in said the die was cast
But I swore I swore I didn't do it
But no one cared they just saw me through it

The night was dark the secrets deep
The lies we sow are what we reap
In the shadows truth is lost
But who pays the final cost

The Georgian lights went out that night
When the darkness swallowed truth and sin
No one knew the lies that lingered
But justice failed and they did him in

I sat there robe and gavel in hand
The weight of law heavy as sand
The jury spoke quick as flame
Guilty they said and I called his name
But late at night when the moon hangs low
I wonder if there's more to know
The doubt creeps in like a cold hard breeze
But the law was served or so it seems

The night was dark the secrets deep
The lies we sow are what we reap
In the shadows truth is lost
But who pays the final cost

The Georgian lights went out that night
When the darkness swallowed truth and sin
No one knew the lies that lingered
But justice failed and they did him in

I led the charge with badge and pride
We had our man no need to hide
But there was a thread a tiny clue
I let it slip I let it through
Now I wonder late at night
If I was wrong if I lost sight
Of what was true and what was right
As the shadows fall on that southern night

I loved him once but the fire died
In the arms of another I tried to hide
But the lies we tell they catch us quick
And I never thought it'd end like this
I heard the shot it rang so loud
In the dark beneath that shroud
I knew the end had come for me
But it was him they took not me you see

The night was dark the secrets deep
The lies we sow are what we reap
In the shadows truth is lost
But who pays the final cost

The Georgian lights went out that night
When the darkness swallowed truth and sin
No one knew the lies that lingered
But justice failed and they did him in

I never meant for things to go so far
But love or lust leaves a scar
I thought it was just a secret game
But it turned to ash and I took the blame
We were caught in the heat of night
But it was him they held so tight
And as they led him to his fate
I knew the truth had come too late

I saw it all from the start
The lies the pain the broken heart
So I took the gun I made it right
In the cold dark Georgia night
They never guessed they never knew
It was me who pulled the trigger true
But I'll take this secret to my grave
For my brother who I couldn't save

So many lives so many lies
In the dark beneath those southern skies
The truth was buried but I hold the key
To the night the lights went out for thee

The Georgian lights went out that night
When the darkness swallowed truth and sin
No one knew the lies that lingered
But justice failed and they did him in

Mmm mmmm mmmm Mmmmmm mmmm
