Faithless Justice

Faithless mallet
O' governing gavel
See me upon my knees
Prepared to grovel

For it was peace I sought
But chaos I wrought
In a fit of rage
I burned the page

Faithless mallet
O' governing gavel
How I've done it now
The world now weeps
But my end it will know

For salvation I need
For it I shall surely bleed
I shunned my faith
Now I face the wraith

Faithless mallet
O' governing gavel
I believe not in you
Nor this faithless justice
