When the snow melts and the leaves turn green, spring. A quite village the people in March The calmness breaks with shouts and screams A mob had gathered to hunt a retched criminal We must stop his madness, he must fall I am the one chosen to lead The clues we found gave us a lead On a clear sunny day in spring The crimes that began during the fall Now we gather our torches and march Retribution is coming for this criminal In anger for justice they scream Once he saw the mob, he let out a scream We followed the trail that gave us a lead To a church, the only safe place for a criminal Through the crisp fresh air of spring Up to the church we marched To bring the villain down Up in the bell tower trying not to fall “Redeem Me!” is what he screams We will have a hanging on the first day of March The sun fades the sky and dark clouds lead It begins to rain the showers of spring I sneak inside to capture the criminal He begs for mercy, that coward criminal I climb the bell tower trying not to stumble My favorite time of year, spring From the stairway, I can hear his screams I can redeem you, just follow my lead Make haste to the bell tower I march Up to the bell tower I march I look inside and see the criminal Standing by the edge of the lead The crowd echoes the church with their screams Hoping to his death he would fall The first day of spring I march up and kick the criminal He falls down; with fury and rage I lead him to the edge. I look him in the eye and scream, SPRING! |
