It's everybody's nightmare
To stand alone acused
To be thrown into prison
For a crime you didn't do
It's everybody's nightmare
And it happened to you
How a nation stands convicted
For the crime it puts you through.
This country's democracy
With all that that entails
Like innocent till proven guilty
Guarranteed fair trials
But all that was forgotten
When the cry went up that night
Torches in the darkness
Imaginations burning bright
There were evil angles watching in the night
There were evil angels dancing in the firelight
Evil angels marking every move
And now it's those evil angels who have everything to prove.
For more than five long lonely years
You fought to clear your name
You sat in courts and learn to
Conflicting expert claims
And your faith was what sustained you through they tried to break you down
While dingo jokes flew around the world
And rumours whipped the towns
And sacrificed there's been in the wilderness that night
You dressed the child in black was a dark satanic rite
And the jury found you guilty it had been already said
On the streets and the broadcasts
And in everything we read
And then it seemd a miracle
That freed you from your cell
And experts were embarrased
As their theories tripped and fell
And the court declared you innocent
But the damage had been done
Your liveswill never be the same
Nor will the lives of your young sons.
It's everybody's nightmare to stand alone accused
To be thrown into prison for a crime you didn't do
It's everybody's nightmare and j ustice was a sham
There was a sacrifie in the wilderness
And Lindy was the lamb
Fade out
