Songs Lyrics

In the place of your haughtiness you will be brought low
And every law that you transgress is going to bring another sorrow
This is the way the scales are set everything in just measure
You can add or detract or you might even
make things a little bit better and I say

Just weights and measures
Measure for measure

And if the rains refuse to fall you know there is a reason
And if we burn the book of rules the punishment is treason
Don't blame the heavens no, look into the mirror
And if you suffer you'll see it's so
You can see things a little clearer and I say

(Chorus)

And if the accuser brings evidence and our fate is sealed forever
The judge can only set us free by raising an oppressor
So it will be until we see only he is our protection
And if you want to be redeemed
you got to earn a coin of redemption and I say

(Chorus)

Don't worry my little child - Though it's dark it will get better
Our father will correct us all - Everyone in just measure
And I say

(Chorus)
