lyrics

And so
The accused will stand
Before the shadowy mass
Looming from the bench
The all-seeing eye

Kneel before me
Accept your sentence, accused
The gavel cracks the din
Of the dimly lit room

Before you die
Have you nothing to say?
With your final breath
On your final day

Time is short
So let’s make this quick
A hush befalls the court
The silence is thick

I object
To all
Levied at me
What has passed
Has ceased to be
No harm was meant
Still I atone
My punishment
Is mine alone

So now you plead
Your own false innocence?
Don’t make me laugh
I can see inside

Your worthless tricks
Will have no meaning here
You won’t find a place
To run to and hide

Your time is up
Let the sentence begin
The testimony
From without or within

A foolish farce
From a now worthless man
You final judgment
Is to die by my hand

I object
To all
Levied at me
What has passed
Has ceased to be
No harm was meant
Still I atone
My punishment
Is mine alone

Too late
To waste your breath
On objections alone
For now you reap
All that you have sewn

You harvest pain
And a sickness within
A bloody ending
Where did it begin?

It matters not
Just the judgment at hand
Your final fate
Is already planned

Another moment
To take it all in
A ruling now
For all of your sin

I object
To all
Levied at me
What has passed
Has ceased to be
No harm was meant
Still I atone
My punishment
Is mine alone

Too late
You say
A single breath
Reflecting now
On one man’s death

A single light
That once was shown
An edict now
To die alone
