For every damning blot of darkness

On the fabric of this world

For every hope that is shattered

And any plea that goes unheard.

 

For every cry of agony,

Each scream of despair,

For every bellow of misery,

That echoes through the air

 

For every shackle on every wrist,

And the bars that cage the innocent,

For every unfair decision made,

Every unlawful dime spent.

 

One day there will come a reckoning,

In this put your faith and trust.

A swift and final justice,

For all these deeds unjust,

 

Those who cause misery,

Will roar with their pain,

As every wound they ever opened

Will become their own for a change

 

So look out for that day

When good will rejoice

And never think, not for a moment

That you do not have a choice.
