Can't Look Away
[Verse 1:Solo]
We start at the end,
With the dull echo of the very last steps of a man condemned,
He spent his last night in a cell with a prayer on his lips like a saddened man,
Not sure if anybody heard him murmur what he said,
But he hopes somebody was listening as he asked to repent,
Dishonored, destined to that the suit they gave him,
Doesn't fit but still they made him wear it while they prepared him for this solemn occasion,
As ashamed as he is of the sins he's committed,
It still hurts to admit that he's been forsaken in final paces on his way to meet his maker,
Now he takes center stage to a standing ovation,
Tall shadows make patterns in the torch light on the crowds angry faces,
Crying out to be entertained,
Now they're calling for his blood,
Looking down on he who's been judged,
That they can feel that they're above,
Now he feels the cold embrace, of the noose around his neck,
Looks to the clouds hanging over his head,
And they watch his body drop hats on hearts or at least over their chest,
In a strange mark of respect, like he's already dead,
We start at the end.
[Hook: Solo]
Let it ring from the steps of the court house,
Verdicts been brought down,
These are the people we were warned bout'.
Look away, no I can't look away,
No I can't look away, No I can't look away,
Let it splash in the headlines,
Praised or demonised,
It's up to us we will be the ones who decide,
Look away, no I can't look away,
No I can't look away, No I can't away.
[Verse 2: Solo]
We start at the end,
No details spared as it's shared inside of a ten page spread,
Whether to be for or against,
Well I guess that it all depends,
Better not make it too complex,
Let us be united in our content,
Heros and villians, perps and victims,
Given to us to assess,
Special ops raided compound,
Chopper takes off,
Bodies drop in the dead of night,
We decide what real and what's made up when we wake up to read the headlines,
Seeing printed in ink wet wipe fresh blood on the page,
A notice posted to the whole world that this is the judgment we made,
Becoming of age,
And I'm much the same theres so many others out there,
In the global village we live in and this right here is the new town square,
I can't pretend that I'm above it cause I can't look away,
Like the rest, shaking my head,
Cause we ain't past this yet.
[Hook]x2
