Trial - Condemned lyrics

rate me

How can I make a difference

When all the odds are stacked up against me

"Why bother, why even try?"

I hear it so often I could start to believe

But I'll never stand back and let those words take away my strength

Or watch crisis turn to convention

Because out of sight means out of mind to you

Drowning in ignorance

Absorbed by fear, this is a culture of disrespect and I stand

By the side of those we've condemned,

All around are those we've condemned

Truth denied to those

Shattered lives of those

We've condemned ourselves to live in a world we don't understand

As molds of the marketplace and pawns in the same game

There's no escape from a value system

Where drugs and sex are bait to the masses

The life we're sold leaves us with nothing

Refuse to accept it

Our lives are worth more

And at least I'll make an effort to let my voice be heard

In a culture of disrespect and I stand

By the side of those we've condemned

All around are those we've condemned

Time and time again I wonder if

I'm the only one who feels lost within our system

With no mind, no life, no words, no voice

No soul on trial

My back against the wall

But your dream means nothing to me

And I will watch it fall
