How did it feel
When the truth was exposed
The guilt assigned
The case closed
A jury of the damned
Each and every one
Your fate was sealed
Before the trial had begun
Now the axe is lifted overhead
The crowd awaits the stroke
And the signal that the deed is done
No absolution
Tonight we'll have a party
And sing and dance
And pride ourselves for knowing
That you never stood a chance
Tomorrow we will wake up
With another in our sights
And drag them to the gallows
To do what we might
Another hand of justice
Another casualty of the mob
Just another wrong that we made right
No absolution
But one day the accused
Will be you or I
And suddenly we may find
Justice denied
And once again the braying fools
Will scream for execution
And no matter what the facts are
There's only this solution
And we may pray for God's mercy
But no Gods will there be
Just a jury of the damned
No absolution
