Why didn't you leave when you could?
You cannot call your lawyer or anyone else outside
You must put your trust in us
I am a small part of a large mechanism
And that goes for you too
But together we must seek the truth
I will help you to the best of my ability
But the brunt of the responsibility lies with you
Deliberate deceit will not be tolerated
Inadvertent blunders will be treated with firm kindness
And you must trust me to decide the ratio of firmness to kindness
Your best hope would be to depersonalize what follows
And not to look upon me as a foe or yourself as a victim
Violence for peace, it will cloud the sane
Crippled in life, the pain will not cease
Burning phrases cauterize the weak
Wounded masses fading
Walking the mile, empowered to reign
We are strung on the line with no reason to wait
Decided by crisis, our thoughts come to be
Walking the razor, bodies keep floating away
Fighting to throw it away
Reaching for the light
Full of war
