I Shot A Man Lyrics
I shot a man, I heard him fall
I heard his desperate dying call
I saw his eyes grow dim and shade
I saw his color drain and fade
I didn't know that final blow
Would claim his life and end it so
I wash and wash to clean these hands
Because I shot a man
I shot a man, and all I see
Is red the shade of history
It's love and blood and hate the same
It burns my conscious with it's flame
I couldn't tell the requiem bell
Would ring and bring this living hell
Now heaven's heights I cannot span
Because I shot a man
I shot a man because I knew
My darkest depths he peered into
He saw inside this heart of sin
He saw inside and still climbed in
He looked at me and I could see
The cost of immortality
I shot him through the feet and hands
My God, oh God, I shot a man
I heard his desperate dying call
I saw his eyes grow dim and shade
I saw his color drain and fade
Would claim his life and end it so
I wash and wash to clean these hands
Because I shot a man
Is red the shade of history
It's love and blood and hate the same
It burns my conscious with it's flame
Would ring and bring this living hell
Now heaven's heights I cannot span
Because I shot a man
My darkest depths he peered into
He saw inside this heart of sin
He saw inside and still climbed in
The cost of immortality
I shot him through the feet and hands
My God, oh God, I shot a man
