Depeche Mode – Condemnation

Condemnation, tried.

Here on the stand,

With the book in my hand

And truth on my side.

Accusation, lies.

Hand me my sentence –

I’ll show no repentance,

I’ll suffer with pride.

If for honestly you want apologies –

I don’t sympathize.

If for kindness you substitute blindness –

Please open your eyes.

Condemnation, why.

Because my beauty was always to beauty –

And that was my crime

Feel elation, high.

To know I can trust this,

Fix of injustice time after time.

If you see purity as immaturity –

Well, it’s no surprise.

If for kindness you substitute blindness –

Please open your eyes
