| Innocent Convict
I’m unable to express my these emotions
Unlike anything I’ve eva felt before
Nothin’ to compare to save hell on earth
Gotta tell it as it is in this God-forsaken war.
No light in this pit, no air left to breathe
Bro I’m facin’ such pain that you’d neva believe.
Can’t speak, can’t sleep, bro I can’t even cry,
Dunno how you can watch ‘n continue to deny.
Beyond doubt you condemn with no reason or care
I’m an innocent man imprisoned God knows where
Nothin’ left to say, nothin’ left to do
Can’t wait till I drop dead ‘n I’m thru with u
Scream drowned out as the bomb goes bang
The noose’s on my neck an’ I’m gonna hang
No warmth in this ice no love in this hate
God how much longer am I gonna have to wait?
No rain to soothe the pain nothin’ left to feel
Tryin’ to nurse a wound in my heart that’d neva heal
Lost all alone ‘n stolen away
No rights no hope nothin’ left to say.
Where’s the light of the sun in this pit of fear?
Nothin’ neva shone so bright as the truth so clear
I’m free to leave now my voice has been heard;
To put a child in for terrorism is just absurd.
They got the wrong man, or so they claim
An ‘honest mistake’ ‘n it’s all just the same
But I know it’s all a lie an’ they’d do anythin’ to break me
Hatred and ignorance rulin’ a world hell-bent on insanity
Youth ripped away locked away from life
Gotta take it as a struggle as I dodge the knife
Landin’ a killin’ blow but failin’ to kill
Caged up for so long I’ve got a broken world left to fill
Not much left for me to say ‘till I see u understand
‘Cept I miss the beauty of a flower blooming’ on desert sand
Recalling the purity of the first drops of snow
Now poisoned with blood ‘n with nothin’ but despair left to grow
No beauty in torture, no crime in innocence,
Yet I’m locked up in this hell with a death sentence hangin’ in wait
How can they just let me go, how can I be free of all offence?
Can I just walk out after everythin’ they’ve tried to desecrate?
There’s no case without evidence ‘n no law without a trial,
Yet I was locked up without one ‘n no one seemed to care
Free from their accusations, worn out by denial
Gotta take life as it is even if it don’t seem fair
No one’s telling’ me why I’m in this mess,
No one answering my questions as they lie
Already knowin’ they’re gonna kill me like the others,
Aware that I’m gonna die.
Little left to think, little left to know
The sun don’t shine in places where even hatred cannot grow
No dust on the ground ‘n no blood left stainin’ their hands
Coz it’s in the darkness of their soul that only God understands
I’m a free man once more but does it matter when they’ve taken my lands?
I miss the song of birds breakin’ through a dawn of fire
Emptiness in silent corridors, devoid of all but one desire:
Freedom calls to me from every cell and every heartbeat as I leave
Leavin’ behind a nightmare that no mind can eva conceive
I’m a dead man walkin’ free from hell
An’ a blind man watchin’ my people cry
While you watch on in silence, allowin’ injustice,
Just watchin’ us die ‘n never questionin’ why…
The bullet hit my chest as I left the prison grounds
Shouts and warning’s ‘n silence the only sounds
Didn’t think they’d take it this far
Seems they hate to let go of their prey in this hate-filled war
Official story- “an extremist Muslim man charged with conspiracy of terrorism caught in a crossfire between an escaped convict and police as he was released earlier this morning…”
My story: I was thrown into a torture zone as a prisoner of war ‘n then silenced so word wouldn’t go out about their so-called ‘interrogation’ methods. Now I’m dead.
Who’ll be next unless we end all wars today?
Is your only answer silence- have you nothin’ to say?
How many more will meet this fate;
killed by fear, ignorance, and hate?
Silence… Nothin’ left to say coz the dead can’t answer back. | |
