Thief on a Cross Lyrics

Justice fell, as it should,
Ceding to the cry for restitution,
Defeat drives deep through my hands and feet.
And justice fell with a crashing blow
To collect on the debt I owe,
Where the three streams meet
Beneath my feet.

But my arrival is all tied up,
My arrival is all tied up,
And every ribbon is a welcome sight,
And a ring around the wrong made right.

Justice fell but could not find
Purchase to lay blame and bind,
Nor claim my wage from a better Man's day.
Justice fell but could not stay;
Arriving just a few moments late.
Hope gives rise with the promise of paradise.

But my arrival is all tied up,
My arrival is all tied up,
And every ribbon is a welcome sight,
And a ring around the wrong made right.

When I awake I will rise in new life.
