​holding hands

[Verse 1]
I remember that day, just like it was yesterday
Was it only weeks ago? We went to that funeral
We heard the will, and tears were spilled
While we divvied up the bones, they barred the doors on the Sunbeams court

[Chorus]
And if they call you to the stand, I will be right there holding your hand
In the hellmouth there's no wrong or right, so just take my hand, and hold on tight
And we might, survive, this court tonight

[Verse 2]
We stood accused, our crimes could not be excused
We'd no remorse, for our part in the phonecourse
We killed our captain, we let it happen
I think we knew right then we could never win judged by our sins

[Chorus]
So when they call you to the stand I will be right there holding your hand
In the hellmouth there's no wrong or right, so just take my hand, and hold on tight
And we might, survive, this court tonight

[Verse 3]
The defense did their best, our innocence they professed
But then the judge was on the stand, and then somehow sunman, sunman?
We'd hoped justice would prevail, but it'd long gone off the rails
Time bleeding away, had to speak my heart before we were torn apart

[Chorus]
Well I said what I said and I meant it
Disrupting the court was never what I'd intended
But seeing you there on the stand with your hand extended

[Verse 4]
I had to be by your side, even as all hope for mercy died
I was finally free, from that ol' ring of greed
Too little too late, they'd sealed our fate
With your hand in mine, our last farewell, we were guilty as hell

[Chorus]
And I remember that terrible sound, when the executioners axe came down
Those puppet masters had their day in court, they pulled their strings and we'd come up short
But in the Hellmouth there's no wrong or right so just take my hand and hold on tight
In the light, of a sun, so brutal and bright

[Outro]
This court's on fire, but here I stand
Just you and me, holding hands
Anyone could see, the whole trial was a sham
But what's real, is us, holding hands
