V1.
He took a new job in the city
And gave up small town life
For better opportunities
For his children and his wife
The neighborhood seemed safe enough
Right up until it wasn’t
And when I ask him how it all went down
He don’t want to discuss it

Chorus
Only you control the narrative
On who will cry the tears
Carried by six of your best friends
Or judged by twelve of your peers
Live or die. The choice is yours
Who’s life you gonna save
You’ve either got to end his time
Or he’ll put you in the grave.

V2.
When he heard the glass break
He reached into that drawer
He knew just how to use it
But he never had before.
With eyes locked and hammer cocked
He thought about his family
But all he’ll really ever say
Is “It was him or it was me.”

Chorus
Only you control the narrative
On who will cry the tears
Carried by six of your best friends
Or judged by twelve of your peers
Live or die. The choice is yours
Who’s life you gonna save
You’ve either got to end his time
Or he’ll put you in the grave.


Bridge
In the dead of the night
Under bright moonlight 
A decision had to be made
Shots rang out in the silence
But it ain’t random violence
When a family needs to be saved

Chorus
Only you control the narrative
On who will cry the tears
Carried by six of your best friends
Or judged by twelve of your peers
Live or die. The choice is yours
Who’s life you gonna save
You’ve either got to end his time
Or he’ll put you in the grave

You’ve either got to end his time
Or he’ll put you in the grave

Or he’ll put you in the grave
