Justice Turns Into Revenge - Cardiant

Watching the scene on your brand new plasma screen

Evil man, evil deeds, evil plan

Stirring up rage in your sheltered modern mind

So you find where his journey began

Wanting to know he is suffering his fate

Eye for an eye and a whole head for a tooth

Make them pay, make them bleed, make the crawl

Justice is served when the guilty ones are burned

And by mounting their heads on the wall

A righteous end surely justifies the means, yeah

You can’t be wrong

You say you can tell the judgement deserved

You say you are wise and you should be heard

Justice turns into vengeance

Oh, just tell me — what have you learned?

You say you can tell the judgement deserved

You say you are wise and you should be heard

You say you can choose who lives and who dies

You say you see things with untainted eyes

You say you can tell the judgement deserved

You say you are wise and you should be heard

Justice turns into vengeance

Oh, how many crimes your violence deterred?
