IN LEGEND - A Hanging Matter lyrics

When the stranger came to town He didn't mean to cause disconcertment He never really had a chance since Nonconformity Was their reason to break down His well pleased independence Cause it didn't quite comply With their own life-understanding Look, he's sent to the gallows He stands up straight and sings: Yeah – Bless yourself You'll never take Nor will you make My spirit break (And) all the people looking blank Not a single soul objecting As the freethinker's head sank while Re-established truth Did stabilize their peace Suppressing the distracting But evil begets evil – So they can't suppress his tune He stands up straight and sings - Yeah – Bless yourself You'll never take Nor will you make My spirit break People that we are – They are the people that we are – The f**in' people that we are… And so he sings: Can't you – Can't you see that my heart's so pure? Yeah – Bless yourself You'll never take Nor will you make My spirit break
