Condemnation (Live) [Hamburg, Docks, 26/04/2003]

[Verse 1]

Condemnation, tried

Here on the stand with the book in my hand

And truth on my side

Accusations, lies

Hand me my sentence, I'll show no repentance

I'll suffer with pride

[Chorus 1]

If for honesty you want apologies

I don't sympathise

If for kindness you substitute blindness

Please open your eyes

[Verse 2]

Condemnation, why?

Because my duty was always to beauty

And that was my crime

Feel elation, high

To know I can trust this fix of injustice

Time after time

[Chorus 2]

If you see purity as immaturity

Well, it's no surprise

If for kindness you substitute blindness

Please open your eyes
