Justice, capture the essence,
Of my inescapable plight.
Draw your sword,
Balance the scales,
Show me it's not all for nothing.

Redeem me of my unknown sins,
The punishment is too much for,
My shoulders that shake under the weight,
Of Atlas' eternal burden.

Will you condemn the life of a man,
To bear the struggles of the immortal?
Justice, for you are blind,
Listen to my cry.
