Condemnation Tried Here on the stand With the book in my hand And truth on my side Accusations Lies Hand me my sentence I'll show no repentance I'll suffer with pride If for honesty You want apologies I don't sympathize If for kindness You substitute blindness Please open your eyes Condemnation Why Because my duty Was always to beauty And that was my crime Feel elation High To know I can trust this Fix of injustice Time after time If you see purity As immaturity Well it's no surprise If for kindness You substitute blindness Please open your eyes Details Written by Martin L.
