Mandatory Punishment

Divine Empire


Mandatory Punishment

Shackled, taken from my home 
By force, freedom now is gone 
Victim, convict on the run 
Punished for what you did wrong 

Laws were made to be broken 
Take my life and make it worse 
Pay the price for all you've done 
Fuck the system, fuck this curse 

Warrant out for your arrest 
Guilty tile proved innocent 
Imprisoned, technically 
Taken to a place not free 

Mandatory punishment 
Going by the book 
This god fearing government 
Labels me a crook 

Mandatory punishment 
Mandatory punishment 
Stripped of all humanity 
The light of day, you'll never see 

Injustice has taken my pride away from me 
Imprisoned my freedom, made my life agony 
Senseless frustration fills me with bitterness 
My hatred grows stronger, must prove my innocence 

Desperate, life a living hell 
No hope, confined to this cell 
Morals, here they don't exist 
Punished for your ignorance
