For the eminent Justice Swift
No mercy or compassion in his eyes
Just a burning crimson mist
If you should testify
Never look him in the eye
Call his judgement into question and you'll be held
In contempt
Held in contempt
You'll be taken down below
Held in contempt
No escape
Draconian justice from another age
Yet he is older still
Do not object you'll only fuel his rage
He'll break you, bend you to his will
You hear the gavel band
Be silent or you'll hand
Don't interrupt him, he'll have you thrown into a cell
Held in contempt
You'll be taken down below
Held in contempt
Taken down
He is a servant of below
And we don't mean the cells
This is no Earthly court of law
You're at the gates of Hell
The demon points at you and grins
Your flesh starts to crawl
You're wishing as you recount your sins
That you had never been born
Your very life in his control
He's in contempt of your soul
Get on your feet, before this court you'll rise
For your judgement and your fate
Stares right through you with contempt in his eyes
And for you there's no escape
No escape
You're in contempt
You're in contempt
You're in contempt
Please be upstanding now the court will rise For the eminent Justice Swift No mercy or compassion in his eyes Just a burning crimson mist If you should testify Never look him in the eye Call his judgement into question and you'll be held In contempt Held in contempt You'll be taken down below Held in contempt No escape Draconian justice from another age Yet he is older still Do not object you'll only fuel his rage He'll break you, bend you to his will You hear the gavel band Be silent or you'll hand Don't interrupt him, he'll have you thrown into a cell Held in contempt You'll be taken down below Held in contempt Taken down He is a servant of below And we don't mean the cells This is no Earthly court of law You're at the gates of Hell The demon points at you and grins Your flesh starts to crawl You're wishing as you recount your sins That you had never been born Your very life in his control He's in contempt of your soul Get on your feet, before this court you'll rise For your judgement and your fate Stares right through you with contempt in his eyes And for you there's no escape No escape You're in contempt You're in contempt You're in contempt Explain Request ×
