In the Court

In the court where the word is the law,

Where words are the end, all and all,

Times are changing and words are too

In the court where the word is the law.

Speak out, speak up, the time is now

Because words change, someway, somehow.

They once were ours, not anymore,

Speak out, speak up, the time is now.

Through time and terror, justice saw,

How words had power, every day

Every hour, from the men

Where in their high towers they sat

Doing this or telling her that.

In the court where the word is the law,

Where words are the end, all and all,

Times have changed, and words have too

In the court where the word is the law.
