about

Justine’s about the titular character from the Marquis de Sade’s novel. I finished reading it when I was feeling burnt out on tour in Adelaide. The whole book is her being mistreated by the world and (spoiler alert) it doesn’t end well. I imagined a different ending where she unleashed righteous vengeance on the world. It felt pretty metal.

lyrics

Justine, you've further yet to fall There's no hope left at all There's no dreams coming true
I know that you're confused, and blue The faith that you cling to
I hope that it's bulletproof
Justine, the world will do you wrong You'll be set upon
You'll be made to lose
Seek comfort in the truth, or don't But there's no one to lean on You'll learn you're all alone
Let your hate fall down like rain on me
Justine, I hope your fury spreads And off with all their heads And all glory to you
And make this world anew
A song we're waiting to be sung That lulls us all sleep
Let your hate fall down like rain on me
