Contempt Breeds Contamination - Trivium

Mistaken Identity

You really got this one wrong

Racially singled out

He must have a gun

And yet

You get

Off with

No time

How can this be the answer?

No crying in the shadow way*

Realise that the

Blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn’t justice

This is corruption

The four protecters

Fired 41 shots

Hitting him 19 times

Searching the body

There were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain

But there must still be a crime

We’re all hearing freedom*

Is equally cut down

By who we trust

And yet

You get

Off with

No time

How can this be the answer?

No crying in the shadow way

Realise that the

Blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn’t justice

This is corruption

The four protecters

Fired 41 shots

Hitting him 19 times

Searching the body

There were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain

Contempt breeds contamination

Contempt breeds contamination

Contempt breeds contamination

How can this be the answer?

No crying in the shadow way

Realise that the

Blood is on your hands

Hands which were supposed to protect

People like the man you blew away

This isn’t justice

This is corruption

The four protecters

Fired 41 shots

Hitting him 19 times

Searching the body

There were no weapons found

He lies with all who died in vain
