So, lowly criminal, please tell me, how do you plead?
|
Now, honorable judges, ladies, gentlemen of the jury, please 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 an enforcement of laws, so you're our property now.
|
Intelligence has failed you somehow.
|
Oh, what a shame 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 shall it 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 bling 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 guilt, not pain.
|
Is love the same?
|
This senseless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame.
|
Who's to blame?
|

Thank You, Pain
