So, lowly criminal
Please tell me, how do you plead?
Now, honorable judges, ladies, gentlemen of the juryPlease allow me to present my case
Ha! What case can you possibly present
To rip a man from his family, faith, and friends? Defense?
Listen, before you convict
You see, I never did intend to ruin anything!
Intent is a guilty conscience′s white flag against pride
So I find you guilty of the crimes
I know, although I don't believe
It′s not only my afterlife I bereave
Appeals will be denied!
The line of duty calls for enforcement of laws
So you're our property now
Intelligence has failed you somehow
Oh, what a shame that you play this game
Through senses, what can we explain?
Not joy, not guilt, not pain
Is love the same?
This senseless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame
Who's to blame?
Thank you, pain! (for crippling my body)
God bless suffering!
Thank you, pain! (for freeing my brain)
For preventing me from returning to the source again
So it shall be
Now do you see the error of your ways?
Of rats and men you speak
Standing up tall but you are weak, a smiling thief!
We are all murderers, you see
But you let taboo human chemistry blind your needs
Love is greed!
Logic won′t concede
Think about the statistics you feed
Think before you plead
Through senses, what can we explain?
Not joy, not fear, not pain
Is love the same?
This reckless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame
Who′s to blame?
Thank you, pain! (for crippling my body)
God bless suffering!
Thank you, pain! (for freeing my brain)
For preventing me from returning to the source again
