"Justice" Songtext
von The Mechanisms

As death surrounded Camelot
In the town hall the three Pendragons squared against each other
In each heart love warred with greed
And in each mind scenarios whirled

Guinevere was the quickest draw, no question
But perhaps she could only take one
of them out before the other got her
Lancelot was the best shot,
if he managed to clear leather, it was all over
Arthur could beat him on speed,
but perhaps Guinevere was counting on this
No sound broke the silence,
as an eddy of rust blew in from the open door

And then all at once
They found their hands were moving away from their guns
They looked each other in the eye and knew that love had won
Guinevere and Lancelot nodded,
and Arthur stepped forward to
declare himself Captain with their blessing


They knew what would happen now
Fort Galfridean would live again
They could activate the engines, move the station away from the sun
They could bring back prosperity to the
hydroponics and repair the radiation shielding
Just this once, there could be a happy ending

Three shots rang out from the shadows of the doorway
Guinevere fell dead
Lancelot fell dead
Arthur fell to his knees
Mordred walked in with tears in his eyes and blood on his hands

"Father, I′m- I'm sorry,"

What passed between them then is
perhaps too personal for us to speak of
But at the end of it,
Mordred dragged his wounded father into the lifepod
And with the press of a single button fired him into the aether
All that Mordred loved, all he hoped and dreamed
Laid dead and bleeding on the Camlann wastes


He walked to the console and declared a new Captain
He set a new course, and activated the engines
The heat began to grow, not slow,
but fast as console sparked and caught fire
But Mordred′s heart was ice
The sound of death still rang in his ears
And as the last high noon sounded outside
Mordred rode his rotten world into the sun
