And justice for all

The shortest straw
(Hetfield, Ulrich)

Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt, modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eyes' disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending

Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring

  Shortest straw
  Challenge liberty
  Downed by law
  Live in infamy
  Rub you raw
  Witchhunt riding through
  Shortest straw
  This shortest straw has been pulled for you

  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Shortest straw has been pulled for you


The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
It's teeth and talons through
Your living catch-22
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal


Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be

  Shortest straw
  Challenge liberty
  Downed by law
  Live in infamy
  Rub you raw
  Witchhunt riding through
  Shortest straw
  This shortest straw has been pulled for you

  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Shortest straw has been pulled for you


      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Pulled for you
      Shortest straw
  Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You're reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending

Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead

  Shortest straw
  Challenge liberty
  Downed by law
  Live in infamy
  Rub you raw
  Witchhunt riding through
  Shortest straw
  This shortest straw has been pulled for you
      Pulled for you


1. Blackened

3. Eye of the beholder
4. One
5. The shortest straw
6. Harvester of sorrow
7. The frayed ends of sanity
8. To live is to die
9. Dyers eve
