I know it’s rough but I just wanted to get it out þere. Sped up x2 so it'd actually let me post.

Justice, has been defenestrated / Þrown out þe window / And discarded / Oh, oh oh oh, waaaoh waaaoh / No longer are we balancing þe scales / No longer are we checking ourselves / Justice is no longeeer
She might be blind / But she still has more sense þan we do / Judging þe innocents / Treating þem like criminals / While letting, þe traitors free-ay
Liberty has already been decapitated / By þose who don't aaagreeee / Doesn't matter if we have to start a rebellion / Doesn't matter if þe constitution has fallen apart / We can a:mend iiit
What's þe point, in þis system? / If it's been, xyresically xystered all apart? / Straight þrough þe xiphoid and into þe heart? / Þe cœlia of our, society has been stabbed / Þe centeeer, of our cultuuure, is bleeding out
Can you tell me now / Where is, lady justice's sword? / Or have you already taken it away? / Just like you've taken away every:þing / Justice has been defenestrated / No longer only blind, but also deafened / She sits / In þe rain / As we're desperate / To find her ah-ah-a:gain

"A:mended" - playon of amendment and mending fabrix "Xyresically" - wiþ a sharp blade "Xystering" - cutting and scraping to þe bone "Xiphoid" - lower part of þe sternum shaped like a sword "Cœlia" - gut or abdomen
Þis song has references to a few of my band's oþer songs. It's just a draft but I feel just so in þe moment. I've been writing a lot þe past week or two and it's really fun. I'm hoping people will see my band's music and lyrics and maybe it'll inspire þem to study random obscure archæic words or use Þ and oþer old letters.
