THE KILLING GROUND

 

Lyrics written by Joe Richardson

 

 

A thief on the left and one on the right

Up on the hill about twilight

One lived forever, the other died

While a thorny head hung to one side

 

Two got to heaven from The Killing Ground

When the Lord gets ready, the whip comes down

 

Two men accused of breaking the law

Up on the side of Golgotha

One man accused of being a king

That's the saddest song I'll ever sing

 

Two got to heaven from The Killing Ground

When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down
