Down Comes The Gavel
©Written By Volker “DOC” Heigelmann

Down comes the gavel
Down it comes
Down comes the gavel
Hope the car still runs
Down comes the gavel
Down she comes
Down comes the gavel
Hope the car still runs
Comming down down down down
1.
If I'm sleepin', don't wake me yet
I know I’m soaked wet with sweat
Let me finish what I've seen
This reality wrapped in a dream
But I know I’m really awake,
It’s not true, a lot’s at stake
I didn’t do the things they say
And just who the hell are they

(Chorus 1)
So your honor, it’s that plain, it’s destiny
The example they set for all of humanity
How do I get past all of this
I did what they asked, what did I miss
The trial’s over, he’s released the cast
It’s done, long at last
Come mornin’ I’m movin’,movin’ out quick
Thing’s changed, Things don’t fit

2.
Under my nose, sure as I’m breathin’ air
Judge says the verdict’s fair
From a far the old man watches,
Rocks back in his chair
Shrugs his shoulder,”they don’t even care”
Jury of your peers, look at them stare
The trial’s over and it’s been real hard
Down comes the gavel, leaving you scarred

(Chorus 2
I’m awake, I’m awake now
Just can’t imagine, just don’t see how
Lost for words, lost I admit
Goin’ somewhere, to forget
Long days I see, I see far, up ahead
You know there so much left unsaid
It’s greetings from the devil’s own helper
Better run, better hide, better find your shelter
