Code of Punishment

No man, peasant, or slave will go unpunished
When the penalty fits the crime
Do not blame or point fingers at others
Or you will be scarred and marked in public

You will be, made of an example, the butchered display
Your mangled face, will show that you are publicly disgraced

When son or father strike each other, their hands shall be hewn off
Heavy, blunt, cutting objects will separate the hands and joints
Do not strike superiors or one shall be struck with an ox whip 60 times
If a slave strikes another, he shall have his ear cut off

To strike a conceived woman, will be a costly penalty
If the woman dies, your daughter will be put to death
A woman who does not deal in fair trade shall be drowned
To have nothing for fair payment of justice, you shall be put to death

Atonement for your sins
The punishment fits the crime

The code of punishment, means an eye for an eye
Things that seem just, will seal your inhumane fate
Argue as you must, to prove your lies you may try
With a quicken fury, the justice of vengeance will be pure hate

To take the slave of others, is not a fitting one
If one takes the slaves of others, you will be put to death
If you break the eye or bone of another, than yours will be broken
If one is caught in theft and robbery, you will be put to death

Torture will be torture, you will earn it
Scar will be scar, you will wear it
Loss of your loss, it will be taken
Death will be your death, never awaken
Soon you will know
What it really means to take
Your thirst for unjustified lust
Will be the end of your whole bloodline..

No man, peasant, or slave will go unpunished
When the penalty fits the crime
Do not blame or point fingers at others
Or you will be scarred and marked in public

The code of punishment, means an eye for an eye
Things that seem just, will seal your inhumane fate
Argue as you must, to prove your lies you may try
With a quicken fury, the justice of vengeance will be pure hate

Atonement for your sins
The punishment fits the crime
Atonement for your sins
The punishment fits the crime
