Innocence

[Verse 1:]
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men
And their dark charade
This can't be happening
A mother's selfish pride
Her child's homicide
Can she be to blame?
The suited vulture's circling
A father's cruelty
A murdered family
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to
Embrace their lies
With their devious smiles.

[Chorus:]
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally.

[Verse 2:]
Who is innocent?
No one is innocent
Who is innocent?
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again
In the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again
When will the torture end
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the counselor's gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
A pervert's fantasies
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
False defender, burn forever
False defender, burn forever
Cold and spineless, have you no soul?
Wicked-minded, out of control
And guided by their hunger
They will find new ways to betray us.

[Chorus:]
Your corruption is like a cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgment another day
And suffer eternally.

[Verse 4:]
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again
In the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?
