[Intro]
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the street
Different eyes and hair
The scales of justice don't care
Chain link and in concrete
Blood on the street
Foreboding god complex
She never knew she was next
[Verse 1]

When they fall, they fall strong
The justice has failed us
Rogue power, crooked laws
[Chorus]
Can you hear them?
Let them speak

Triumphant verdict, the dead don't care
Unseen terror, a horror dream
Guardian lost, what does it mean?
She fell
[Outro]
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the street
Different eyes and hair
The scales of justice don't care
Chain link and concrete
Blood on the street
Foreboding god complex
She never knew she was next
She was next
