Silence So Loud

Slamming the door

That echos through the cellblock

Nothing can I see

Guilty until proven innocent

Never again to be free

Deathrow is like one bullet in an empty gun

Pull the trigger

Hanging by a thread

So quiet I hear my thoughts aloud

Hate getting stronger

It's been so long

Since I've heard a human voice

Isolated

It's been years since I've seen the light of day

Slightly demented

Memories die Bad blood flows

The love of man is gone

Emptiness reminds you well of the things that must

Come to end Come to end

[Bridge:]

The tears I cry The blood I bleed

The hell I feel The hate within

I stand alone Not always proud

But on my own Nobody at me side

[Chorus:]

Silence so loud

I am innocent

I scream over and over

But no one hears me

I am the victim of a witch hunt

Oh god help me

I fear the truth won't be found

Locked up key thrown away

I'll be dead before they discover

I've been accused falsely

Darkness Silence

My only friend

Solitary confinement

Is where I'll be until I'm dead

[Bridge / Chorus]

Lady Justice can you help me

I am indigent and can't pay your price

What about innocent 'til proven guilty

Or is it reserved for those with money and might

Is being poor punishable by law

While the rich plead guilty and go free

Only in the land of milk and honey

Can justice be sold from sea to shining --

[Repeat Chorus]
