The Gavel's Ghost Lyrics

In a quiet town where the river flows

An old judge rests, but no one knows

The weight he carries in his soul

The gavel's ghost won't let him go

He built a career with iron hands

Passed sentences on dirt and sand

Innocent lives beneath the stand

Their cries now haunt this weary man

The gavel's ghost, it whispers low

All the wrongs he can't let go

The system broke, and he played a part

In the chamber of his heart

The corridors of justice stained

By ambitions cold and souls constrained

Decisions made for selfish gain

Now he bears eternal pain

He sees their faces in the night

Seeks redemption from the light

But shadows cast won't make it right

With justice lost from selfish might

The gavel's ghost, it whispers low

All the wrongs he can't let go

The system broke, and he played a part

In the chamber of his heart
