Songtext von The Mark of The Claw

A question of judgement decided in haste A case of malfunction an error of taste A moment of madness occasioned by stress A classic misjudgment a God-awful mess The moment of panic preceding the crash The sickening terror the defeating smash A loud wail of sirens descend on the scene The camera dissolves a crescendo of screams The memory's imprinted like some dreadful sore The fearful reminder: the mark of the claw A question of judgement concerned in the case The method of access regarding the place The possible motive the absence of blood the theories unanswered regarding the thud The outcome was certain the jury was hung Their verdict resolved by ruling of thumb The judgement was mercy: they tendered the plea The judge raised his hand and the prisoner was free
