Song lyrics Condemnation by Depeche Mode

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
Iīll show no repentance
Iīll suffer with pride

If for honesty
You want apologies
I donīt sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

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

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well itīs no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
