Poet Of The Word - The Scales Of Justice Lyrics

The scales of justice, in the ruler's hands
They're weighing down hard on this troubled land
Supposed to balance the right and wrong
But the line's been blurred, for way too long

We know what's right, we know what's wrong
God gave us a compass, steady and strong
But justice is blind, when hearts are corrupt
Fear fills the streets, and rebellion erupts

Rusty and broken, yet still held high
Favoring the clever, spinning every lie
Once they stood firm, now they tilt and sway
For the ones with power, the truth's just gray

We know what's right, we know what's wrong
God gave us a compass, steady and strong
But justice is blind, when hearts are corrupt
Fear fills the streets, and rebellion erupts

From the courts to the streets, it's all the same
The ones in control, playing a twisted game
A price on the truth, and lies in disguise
We're living in shadows, under darkened skies

We know what's right, we know what's wrong
God gave us a compass, steady and strong
But justice is blind, when hearts are corrupt
Fear fills the streets, and rebellion erupts

Injustice brews violence, across the land
You better take cover or learn to stand
The weight of the scales falls heavy and cold
For it's justice for sale, if you've got the gold

Oh, how did we lose the fire inside?
Where did we stray from the righteous guide?
The scales won't balance with greed at the core
We're crying for justice, but it's drowned in the roar

The compass within, it's calling us still
To stand for the truth, to rise with will
The mighty may rule, but the people know
There's a reckoning coming, and it's starting to grow

We know what's right, we know what's wrong
God gave us a compass, steady and strong
But justice is blind, when hearts are corrupt
Fear fills the streets, and rebellion erupts

The scales of justice, they're tipping now
But the fight for truth will show us how
With hearts made pure, we'll make a stand
So justice can rise, across this land
