about

" I came up with the idea for this song when I was watching 'Paradise Lost' the documentary about the West Memphis Three while sat in my old bedroom at my mums house. It instantly gripped me and I had to do as much research on the subject as possible. I knew it was an extremely dark subject matter and not the easiest type of story to put into a song, but I also wanted to try and make it as catchy and as memorable a melody as possible so that even if you didn't know about the subject at all, it may sneak into your consciousness." - Benj Squibbs

lyrics

If you cannont prove it how the hell do you expect us to believe?
In criminal justice? What about the justice for six families?

Oh hold in tight, don't ever lose the fight
You've got to stay strong now
Got to make it right

Don't believe the truth that they fed to you
Got to make it out of here alive
We are all humans here
Darling shed those tears
I see the hope fading in your eyes

But I say
Don't Let it go
Cos I see the pain in,
We let you down
We let you rot

Throw away the key
And leave the kids inside a world of misery
To dream of something better
To leave the town that turned its back on their own family
