lyrics

You will be judged by unseen authority
You will appear before the court of silence
You will answer for your criminality
You will never know the nature of the charges brought against you
These are the words of the faceless men who now accost me in my own home
Law has no meaning here outside of being a force of pure domination
I am subject to absurd rules by incomprehensible lawmakers, yet I know full well I cannot escape the downward swing of the gavel

Left alone, I attempt to gather my thoughts
Mounting fear quickens my pulse
There must be a way out of this byzantine labyrinth of cruelty ending in ruthless punishment

Venturing out under cover of darkness I seek my counsel
I am told the process is designed to demoralize me into submission
I can only delay, for in secret the fact of my guilt is assumed

The trial date arrives swiftly, I have exhausted my appeals
The courthouse looms large before me as I begin to climb the steps
The faceless judge sits atop his lofty dais exuding contempt
Meeting the eyeless gaze of the magistrate I begin my fulmination
Standing tall I excoriate this farce masquerading as jurisprudence
The court of silence erupts in shock as I unsheath my concealed blade

It is my fate to carry out their sentence
These are the words I have spoken as I prepare to end my own life
I am subject to absurd rules by incomprehensible lawmakers, and knowing full well I cannot escape from the downward swing of the gavel I plunge the knife into my heart
