The Gavel

from Permacrisis by Perp Walk

/

lyrics

How long ’til you take the blame?
How long ’til you remember their name?
How long ‘til the gavel falls?
How long will you protect your own?

The iron sharpens the words unspoken
A sharp iron to your cerebellum
Empty promises, no solution
When will we see retribution?
I can’t stand by and watch
You turn your guns on us
You ain’t no man of honour
You ain’t nothing but a fucking killer

Murderers, liars, you’re all the same
Your silence is deafening
Hang from your noose of shame
When you wake in hell, I hope you see their face

I hope you see their face
You fucking coward, a faceless name

No justice, no inner peace
No faith in your police
You think that we’re the problem?
I don’t care what you think

Institutionalised destruction
Blinded by loyalty
Bad apples rot in the basket
Yet your twisted eyes can’t see

The archetype of war
The children cry and the mothers mourn
You think that you’re answer?
I don’t care

Your institutions are failing me
Your thoughts and prayers aren’t fucking working

There’s no inner peace
There’s no faith in your police
