make into old style johnny cash song. **(Verse 1)** They’re standin’ in borrowed titles, wearin’ power like a crown Talkin’ soft about democracy while they tear the courthouse down Since August they been gatherin’ the gavel and the keys Shuttin’ out the Director, sayin’ “You don’t get to speak.” Locked him from the Center doors, said he crossed a sacred line For lovin’ someone different in a house that’s yours and mine **(Chorus)** And I hear that iron door slam in the dead of night Hear the boots of justice marchin’ outta sight When the judge is the jury and the hangman too What’s a little congregation supposed to do? **(Verse 2)** We had a way for grievances, a Response Team tried and true When leaders split like thunderheads, that’s what you’re meant to do But Council played the sheriff, the witness, and the rope On a charge of simple datin’ — Lord, that ain’t no crime to cope Later came the findings, half said “This won’t stand” Evidence like river stones rollin’ through their hands But the Council turned their backs on the truth they feared to see Left democracy bleeding on the chapel floor to bleed **(Chorus)** I hear that iron door slam in the dead of night… **(Verse 3)** Petitions signed in dozens, near a hundred voices strong Grassroots in the chaos singin’ justice like a song If two dozen hands rise up today It’ll be the loudest shout the Council’s heard to date **(Outro)** I’m mournin’ for the Center, for the cracks along its seam For last-minute accusations whispered mean and lean If power’s the new gospel and silence is the rule I’ll walk through that fire — but I won’t call it true.
Lyrics
They’re standin’ in borrowed titles, wearin’ power like a crown
Talkin’ soft about democracy while they tear the courthouse down
Since August they been gatherin’ the gavel and the keys
Shuttin’ out the Director, sayin’ “You don’t get to speak.”
Locked him from the Center doors, said he crossed a sacred line
For lovin’ someone different in a house that’s yours and mine
And I hear that iron door slam in the dead of night
Hear the boots of justice marchin’ outta sight
When the judge is the jury and the hangman too
What’s a little congregation supposed to do?
We had a way for grievances, a Response Team tried and true
When leaders split like thunderheads, that’s what you’re meant to do
But Council played the sheriff, the witness, and the rope
On a charge of simple datin’ — Lord, that ain’t no crime to cope
Later came the findings, half said “This won’t stand”
Evidence like river stones rollin’ through their hands
But the Council turned their backs on the truth they feared to see
Left democracy bleeding on the chapel floor to bleed
And I hear that iron door slam in the dead of night
Hear the boots of justice marchin’ outta sight
When the judge is the jury and the hangman too
What’s a little congregation supposed to do?
Petitions signed in dozens, near a hundred voices strong
Grassroots in the chaos singin’ justice like a song
If two dozen hands rise up today
It’ll be the loudest shout the Council’s heard to dateI’m mournin’ for the Center, for the cracks along its seam
For last-minute accusations whispered mean and lean
If power’s the new gospel and silence is the rule
I’ll walk through that fire — but I won’t call it true.
