Crime and Punishment
In Shadows Reign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many righteous souls for life must run
So I was told
I have ripped apart the sky
Seen the innocent, alone they die
This world is so cold
Your wretched life, that feed you, so I cut the cord
Spiller of blood, who stand above the laws of man
Will surely die by my hand
A lack of justice,
I am witness to demons walking free
Plead for a savior
I shall heed your call, because justice is me
I have borrowed the eyes of a god
And corruption is drowning us
I have seen through the eyes of a god
I wont leave this unpunished
Follow me, into a dreamers promised land
Life or death, Justices lies in Caesars thumb
Blood is the sacrifice
To rid the world of lies
Why would you rid justice! ?
Me truly a Death god
The lyrics of In Shadows Reign's "Crime and Punishment" speak to the theme of justice and the need for retribution against those who have done wrong. The song reflects a desire for accountability and a belief that true justice can only be achieved through personal action. The line "At the fall of every sun, many righteous souls for life must run, so I was told" underscores the urgency of the call for justice, suggesting that every day that passes without it is a missed opportunity.
The song speaks to a sense of powerlessness in the face of corruption and the failure of the justice system. The line "A lack of justice, I am witness to demons walking free" implies that those who have committed crimes are not being held accountable and are therefore free to continue causing harm. The singer's willingness to take matters into their own hands reflects a belief that true justice cannot be left up to others.
The song is a call to action, urging the listener to follow the singer into a "dreamer's promised land" where justice is possible. The use of religious and mythological imagery, such as borrowing the eyes of a god, speaks to the idea that justice is a universal truth that transcends human laws and institutions. Ultimately, the song suggests that justice is not just a matter of punishing wrongdoers but of making sacrifices to rid the world of lies and corruption.
