A life for a life

wooo yeahh (Verse 1) When crime resounds, when innocence dies Justice seeks a path, a truth to devise But when the sentence is pronounced, when night falls Who are we to judge, who are we to decide? (Pre-Chorus) A life for a life, a simple and just equation In this cruel world where trust is lost Crimes leave scars, wounds too deep Justice cries vengeance, in the world's muted sweep (Chorus) In the shadow of bars, echoes of regrets sound A price to pay for those who forget A life for a life, the balance tips In the shadow of bars, the sentence ensues (Verse 2) Prison overcrowding, a burden we bear Lost souls, lives suspended, stories forever frozen In this endless dilemma, where justice loses its way A voice proclaims the answer, a path for the day (Pre-Chorus) A life for a life, a tipping scale In this world of pain, where hope wanes Crimes leave traces, scars everlasting Justice claims its toll, in the spreading silence (Chorus) In the shadow of bars, echoes of regrets resound A price to pay for those who forget A life for a life, the balance tips In the shadow of bars, the sentence ensues (guitar solo) (solo guitar) (Bridge) At the heart of this tragedy, a truth to face That life is worth life, in every judgment traced But in the pursuit of justice, let's not lose sight Compassion and redemption, paths to the light (Chorus) In the shadow of bars, echoes of regrets resound A price to pay for those who forget A life for a life, the balance tips In the shadow of bars, the sentence ensues (end) (end)
