Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Rise. The bench has heard your name.
Be seated. Do not speak.
The blind man hovers, robes unmoved,
above the strong and weak.
He does not rage, he does not weep,
he simply rules it so —
a will so clean it feels no guilt
for breaking what you know.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath you draw costs more.
Every step is taxed and slow.
The ink is dry before you ask.
The verdict's set to go.
[Chorus]
Order. Silence. Sign the page.
The law moves light for me, and lead for you.
I am no man — I am the gavel's fall,
the calm that has no mercy to undo.
You may appeal. The bench has closed.
The seal comes down. It always knew.
Order. Order. Sign the page,
and learn how slow a world I'll put you through.
[Verse 2]
I let the Guildpact fray and break
and called the wreck my own,
for order isn't kept by peace —
it's carved from marble, alone.
I took the shadow they had caged,
I made the dead obey,
and sent it up to angel-light
to teach the proud to pray.
[Pre-Chorus]
A fortress of the righteous fell
straight through my own white spire.
I built the ruin, signed the loss,
and called myself the higher.
[Chorus]
Order. Silence. Sign the page.
The law moves light for me, and lead for you.
I am no man — I am the gavel's fall,
the calm that has no mercy to undo.
You may appeal. The bench has closed.
The seal comes down. It always knew.
Order. Order. Sign the page,
and learn how slow a world I'll put you through.
[Bridge]
The jury here is bound by oath —
dead souls who guard a man with none.
They cannot leave. They cannot rest.
Neither, in the end, will I.
For the shadow that I chained and used
was patient as the law,
and it remembered every chain
the day it broke the jaw.
[Final Chorus]
Order. Silence — who signs now?
The law moved light, and left me with the due.
I was no man. I was the gavel's fall.
The shadow rose. There's nothing to undo.
There's no appeal. The bench is dust.
The seal comes down on me, on cue.
Order. Order. Read the page —
the patient dark has come to sentence you.
[Outro]
Be seated. Do not speak.
The verdict reads itself.
