A Criminal Mind Songtext
von Styx

You′ve seen my hands are steady
You've seen my face before
Soon you can take your last look
And they′ll close the door
I stand accused before you
I have no tears to cry
And you will never break me
Until the day I die

A criminal mind was all I
All I've ever known
They've tried to reform me
But I′m made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I′ve ever had
Ask one who's known me
If I′m really so bad...
I am


I've spent my life behind these steel bars
I′ve paid my debt in time
But being brought to justice
That was my only crime
I don't regret a single action
I′d do the same again
These prison walls secure me
And I'm numb to pain

A criminal mind is all I
All I've ever known
They′ve tried to reform me
But I′m made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I've ever had
Ask one who′s known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

Before you hand me over
Before you read my sentence
I′d like to say a few words
Here in my own defense
Some people struggle daily
They struggle with their conscience 'til the end
I have no guilt to haunt me
I feel no wrong intent


A criminal mind is all I
All I′ve ever known
Don't try to reform me
Cause I'm made of cold stone

My criminal mind is all I
All I′ve ever had
Ask one who′s known me
If I'm really so bad...
I am

Oh I am
Oh I am
I′m made of cold stone
Made of cold stone
I'm just like these prison walls
A criminal mind
