who denies the right to defend?
who decides what crime is a sin?
this is not a way to convict
it's just another way to conflict
who provides the time for a chance?
what case will fall in wrong hands?
more efficient ways to confess
we got to know the [bad word] no less

murder – it's only revenge
murder – why , why
are we so righteous to declare that one must
die
