"Condemnation"

 

Depeche Mode

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
Truth on my side

 

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
I'll suffer with pride

 

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don't sympathize

If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

 

Condemnation
Why?
Because my duty
Was always to beauty (Her)
That was my crime

 

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

 

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well, it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
