Scorched Earth

Judgment passed
Jury held, gavel swings
Enough breath for one last plea
Scorched earth burning
Hatred growing
Scorched earth burning
Bloodshed yearning
Mercy foregoing

Disgrace

This is not what I was promised
Distorted, convoluted vision of what’s been passed to me
A veil of ignorance has been pulled over our eyes
The path to salvation, nothing but a disguise
Illusion of trust
Used to tranquilize
Transmissions over the air, infiltrating our minds
Propaganda shaping thoughts, leaving no one behind

Weight of the Past

No choice, no hope
Justice served by misanthropes
The ultimate in punishment
No one here is innocent
Guilty or not, I will pay
A burden I carry to the grave
The end is in sight, no more pleas
No chance I will ever be set free
You live with the weight of the past
You die with no chance to look back

Forbidding Soul

Imprisoned, lifetime imprisoned
Forgiven, no crime forgiven
No escape, no reason to wake up
No redemption, attempt reflection
Punishment unending
When the dreamer dies, what happens to the dream
Conditioned, no hope conditioned
Revision, no chance for revision
Torn away, torn from society
Reduced to a number
To fill their endless greed
What’s the point of punishment if there’s no chance to atone
Locked behind bars to rot away till I fill a headstone
All because the system needs a way to line its pockets
So the crimes don’t fit the punishment to feed their corporate profits
Dear god, I wish that you could feel my pain
So I knew you felt the same
My gaze against the cold steel bars holds no love
Absolve all this hate
