Though I walked the straight path, I could not walk at all,
Though I walked the straight path, I could not walk at all.
What did I seek from the world? What did I find?
Though I walked the straight path, I could not walk at all.
What did I seek from the world? What did I find?
In the embrace of truth, in the embrace of truth,
Is injustice, only injustice, weeping?
Injustice, only injustice, injustice, only injustice.

This silent smoke scattered here and there,
This silent smoke scattered here and there.
From where else can I bring a mother in return?
This silent smoke scattered here and there,
From where else can I bring a mother in return?
My tears are demanding,
My tears are demanding justice from embers.
Injustice, only injustice, injustice, only injustice.
Injustice, only injustice, injustice, only injustice.

Dreams shattered, loved ones estranged,
Dreams shattered, loved ones estranged.
Savages have plundered the village of my heart,
Dreams shattered, loved ones estranged.
Savages have plundered the village of my heart.
At life's crossroads, at life's crossroads,
Injustice has broken, only injustice.
Injustice, only injustice, injustice, only injustice.

What justice is this? What law is this?
What justice is this? What law is this?
How can I trust it? It is itself helpless.
What justice is this? What law is this?
How can I trust it? It is itself helpless.
Like a wounded bird,
Like a wounded bird, my friend is writhing.
Injustice, only injustice, injustice, only injustice.
Injustice, only injustice.
