Cold Comfort
Just Ice or Justice, one is a block of water created by frozen particles and imperfections
The other is a block of truth seeking qualities to bring moral righteousness and administrations
Long ago, you would take off your hat to the Judge, In the hope that he would show leniency
For if he did it to you in twentieth century Britain, it was the sign for the death penalty
Hang him high and may the Lord be with him, his Honour said
Then they took him down to the gallows, they hung him until he was dead
Justice and Just Ice, they are similar, hard and bold
Ask the man with the noose around his neck, they are both very, very cold
