Grave Concerns

*(Verse 1)* Click of heels down marble halls Flashing cameras, whispered calls She didn’t do the things they say But innocence don’t matter today The prosecutor shakes with nerves Their case is hollow, full of curves Their *methodology*'s a mess But still the judge says, *"I’ll allow it, yes"* *(Pre-Chorus)* “*Motion to Compel*,” we rise Objection echoes, no surprise “*Trial by ambush*,” truth's denied But we hold steady through the lies *(Chorus)* And oh, we’ve got *grave concerns* tonight They buried truth and dimmed the light They swear there's *moral certainty* But all I see is perjury “*What, if any*,” love remains? When justice plays these wicked games I’m standing here, I won’t back out We fight for her, for *Reasonable Doubt* *(Verse 2)* The witnesses all look away Their words rehearsed, their faces grey Their silence screams, they’re in too deep And secrets never let you sleep The judge pretends to weigh it all But every ruling’s one more fall With poison cloaked in legal grace He smirks and says, *"I'll let them have it, case by case."* *(Pre-Chorus)* *Madam Court Reporter* sighs Writing down this web of lies The defense won’t break, won’t bow We’re all she’s got—so here and now *(Chorus)* And oh, we’ve got *grave concerns* tonight They buried truth and dimmed the light They swear there's *moral certainty* But all I see is perjury “*What, if any*,” love remains? When justice plays these wicked games I’m standing here, I won’t back out We fight for her, for *Reasonable Doubt* *(Bridge – Vocal Build)* She’s not your villain, not your ghost Not your lie to love the most She’s a fire they tried to drown But flames rise when truth breaks ground *(Breakdown – Whisper/Spoken)* Call your verdict, take your aim But we remember every name Your system’s cracked, your mask is thin The tide is turning from within *(Final Chorus)* And oh, we’ve got *grave concerns* tonight They buried truth, but not her light You talk of *moral certainty* But that won't hold in history “*What, if any*,” shame you'll face When she walks out and claims her place We stood our ground, we screamed it loud— *She walks out free,* with *Reasonable Doubt*
