One strike
That's enough
Written down
Cold and clean
No appeal
No in between
Names erased
Line by line
Drawn in red
Across the line
You don't hear it
But you feel
Something turning
Something real
No mercy left
No appeal
This is final
This is real
Dust and smoke
Fill the air
Silent eyes
Everywhere
Lines expand
Step by step
Nothing here
Left to keep
Mothers cry
No one speaks
Truth is buried
Under feet
One for the law
Two for the land
Three for the blood
On a steady hand
No mercy left
No appeal
Say the word
Seal the deal
No mercy left
No appeal
Once it's spoken
It is real
The record stands
The sentence holds
No one moves
