Sentenced

A night on the town, his girl by his side
Misfortune struck on their path
A senseless fight took away a young life
Just because they couldn't stand his stare
We just walk on, blood covers the streets
I close my eyes but still hear it
Oh we can judge be we won't interfere
So her cries went out in vain.

I scream so hard and long from the highest tower
Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour
Violence rules our world can you call me a liar??
While our cities burn so bright from the fires

All in vain
Was justice served?
All in vain
Still nothing learned.
All in vain
A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this
We will be sentenced for life

The rage goes on again and again
Bitterness controlling our streets
They serve their time
While we are sentenced to to life
Our wounds, they run so deep
When is the time that we'll take a stand
We can't be so blind we can't see it
I still have my belief in mankind
My cries won't go out in vain!

I scream so hard and long from the highest tower
Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour
Violence rules our world can you call me a liar??
While our cities burn so bright from the fires

All in vain
Was justice served?
All in vain
Still nothing learned.
All in vain
A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this
We will be sentenced for life

I scream so hard and long from the highest tower
Does the fear run so deep that we can't devour
Violence rules our world can you call me a liar??
While our cities burn so bright from the fires

All in vain
Was justice served?
All in vain
Still nothing learned.
All in vain
A sign of times when there's no hope for stopping all this
We will be sentenced for life
