Locked down justice

Nothing good ever came out of hell 
we all can see the enemy works on people's fear 
The fruits of disaster has been sewn into those consenting 
freedom has the choice to move without restraints attached 
removal of these rights has turned the system of law upside down 
passing laws that amount to curfew status in a time of war 
dictators that close down all opposition and homegrown truths 
The twisted tongues of oppression manipulate words forked 
a new breed of public figures emerge justifying murder 
control the masses and you have an army defending the deceiver
