Justice Lyrics - Atomic Opera

Black bird with a broken wing 

Is on the side of the freeway 

The preacher says "Don't worry" 

But he won't fly away 

(oh, glory) 

Lights flash, sirens scream 

A Mardi Gras procession 

Everyone's in trouble 

When everyone prays 

When all the people raise fists in the air 

Cry out in anger for things to be fair 

When I pray "have mercy"I will never ask for justice 

Dark night in my soul 

I scale the walls of doubt 

In a cage of faith 

And there's no way out 

In these days of unknowing you 

I stand so close to alone 

But I will not stand 

For their black parade 

And all the people raise fists in the air 

Cry out in anger for things to be fair 

When I pray "have mercy"Last thing I would ever want is justice 

When I pray "have mercy"I will never ask 

And all the people raise fists in the air 

Cry out in anger for things to be fair 

When all the people I hear everywhere 

Cry out in anger for things to be fair 

When I pray "have mercy"Last thing I would ever want is justice 

When I pray "have mercy"I pray that I will never ask 

(for justice)
