..(((*∞*)))..
Art by Allan Gilbert, 'All Is Vanity'
When the tears run streaming
When the blood runs crimson in our streams
When the bones rattling across the earth
crack in our space
Has truth, become the villain?
When your throat clutches like a vice
for the thirst of comfort
When we are betrayed by the old doctrine
and the light of the new, runs dim
When your friends and family forgot
what you yourself forgot
Has truth, become the villain?
When your heart burns like dry ice
and only anger generates fire
When desire for the fix of perfection
runs empty
When the sound of your own scream
takes you by surprise
Has truth, become the villain?

Artist Allan Gilbert:
Metallica: ... And Justice for All (Remastered)
Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you overpower
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Apathy their stepping stone so unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity so deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you with prying minds
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Lady justice has been raped truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again Make your deal
Just what is truth I cannot tell Cannot feel
The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe I can't believe the price we pay
Nothing can save us
Justice is lost justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings Justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim so true so real
