Can't Look Away |
| We start at the end |
| With the dull echo of the very last steps of a man condemned |
| He spent his last night in a cell with a prayer on his lips like a sad lament |
| Unsure if anybody heard him murmur what he said |
| But he hopes somebody was listening as he asked to repent |
| Dishonoured guest in the death day suit they gave him |
| Doesn’t fit but still they made him |
| Wear it while they prepared him for this solemn occasion |
| As ashamed as he is of the sins he’s committed |
| It still hurts to admit that he’s been forsaken in final paces on his way to |
| meet his maker |
| Now he takes centre stage to a standing ovation |
| Tall shadows make patterns in the torch light |
| On the crowds angry faces |
| Crying out to be entertained |
| Now they’re calling for his blood |
| Looking down on he who’s been judged |
| That they can feel that they’re above |
| Now he feels the cold embrace, of the noose around his neck |
| Looks to the clouds hanging over his head |
| And they watch his body drop hats on hearts or at least over their chest |
| In a strange mark of respect, like he’s already dead |
| We start at the end |
| Let it ring from the steps of the courthouse |
| Verdicts been brought down |
| These are the people we were warned 'bout |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
| Let it splash in the headlines, praised or demonised |
| It’s up to us, we will be the ones who will decide |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
| We start at the end |
| No details spared as it’s shared inside of a ten page spread |
| Whether to be for or against |
| Well I guess that it all depends |
| Better not make it too complex |
| Let us be united in our contempt |
| Heroes and villains, perps and victims |
| Given to us to assess |
| Special ops raided compound |
| Chopper takes off |
| Bodies drop in the dead of night |
| We decide what real and what’s made up |
| When we wake up to read the headlines |
| See it printed in ink wet like fresh blood on the page |
| A notice posted to the whole world that this is the judgment we made |
| Becoming of age |
| And I’m much the same there’s so many others out there |
| In the global village we live in and this right here is the new town square |
| I can’t pretend that I’m above it cause I can’t look away |
| Like the rest, shaking my head |
| Cause we ain’t past this yet |
| Let it ring from the steps of the courthouse |
| Verdicts been brought down |
| These are the people we were warned 'bout |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
| Let it splash in the headlines, praised or demonised |
| It’s up to us, we will be the ones who will decide |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
| Let it ring from the steps of the courthouse |
| Verdicts been brought down |
| These are the people we were warned 'bout |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
| Let it splash in the headlines, praised or demonised |
| It’s up to us, we will be the ones who will decide |
| Look away, no I can’t look away |
| No I can’t look away, no I can’t look away |
