SONG CONDEMNATION -- Songs of Faith and Devotion
[INTRO] C // /F C
[Verse 1]
C
Condemnation
E E7
Tried
F
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
G
And truth on my side
C
Accusations
E E7
Lies
F
Hand me my sentence
I'll show no repentance
G
I'll suffer with pride
[Chorus]
F
If for honesty
Am E
You want apologies
C
I don't sympathize
F
If for kindness
Am E
You substitute blindness
C F C // F C
Please open your eyes
[Verse 2]
Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time
[Chorus]
If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it's no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
