(Saul)

I saw Stephen walking man alive

Among the dead

His eyes were like blue sky

But we found out his blood was just as red

And everyone knew me

And their eyes were filled with fear

No one sees what I see

Only the seemingly sincere

Walking barefoot

He told us how we killed the ones before

He spoke out against us

Said he knew the one we're waiting for

And as he lay dying, I did not shed a tear

His eyes flashed like lightning

He was seemingly sincere

[Chorus]

And I -

I don't understand it

How they cannot see what is so clear

'Cause I -

I caught him red-handed

But something that he said's still in my ears

I might believe a lie and yet appear

Seemingly sincere

They stoned young Stephen

Yes, they kept the holy word

How can those who are unclean

Live among the pure?

And my conscience struck me

As it spoke from deep inside

So I kicked back against it

And I held my head up high

[Chorus]

'Cause I -

I don't understand it

How they cannot see what is so clear

Yes I -

I caught him red-handed

But something that he said's still in my ears

I might believe a lie and yet appear

Seemingly sincere

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I don't understand it

How they cannot see what is so clear

Yeah I -

I've got to demand it

But as he faced his death he had no fear

And somehow it's still ringing in my ears

People can be dead wrong

And yet appear

Seemingly sincere
