[OFFICER:] Woe… to the vanquished! The law is written— in wreck and ruin! Right is but a question… between equals! The strong do as they will… And the weak— SUFFER. SUFFER WHAT THEY MUST! [CHORUS:] IUS LEX! MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! Power commands— THE STARS BEAR WITNESS! IUS LEX! MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! THE STARS BEAR WITNESS! Ignorance— IS NO DEFENSE! [TRESPASSER: ] No banners… no warnings… No light to guide my way… I knew not, I knew not! What crime have I to pay?! Where is the council? Where is the law?! Where… is the justice… I was promised? [OFFICER:] Fool! The law is the blade! The shield, the hammer! It is not spoken— IT IS ENFORCED! Your fate is sealed! Your crime is clear! By decree of… IUS LEX! YOU. ARE. JUDGED. [FINAL CHORUS:] IUS LEX! MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! Justice bends to those with power! THE STARS BEAR WITNESS! EE-US LEKS! MIGHT MAKES RIGHT! THE STARS BEAR WITNESS! The void remembers… YOU. NO. MORE! (Final silence.)
