Ford's Theater

Abraham Lincoln
I am with you in the theater
I am keeping the killer at bay
I want you to stay there laughing
I don’t want to see it end that way

Abraham Lincoln
They say you saw it coming
In one of your awful dreams
No one ever sees his own downfall
No one ever hears his own screams

Abraham Lincoln
I cannot bear to relive this
I am barring that door for you
I am the companion you were seeking
I will never let him through

Abraham Lincoln
I see what could have been
Even as the moment is at hand
Instead of hallelujah
Is this scourge upon our land
