Story Behind The Song
In "Within the Beast", MU decided to write the lyrics as dialog. The song revolves around the story of an unfair trial. The soft, clean vocals represent the accuser, the distressed, clean vocals represent the accused, and the commanding, harsh vocals represent the judge.

Lyrics
The man that sits before you is guilty as charged
Caught red-handed handling the knife
Hear me out, I'm innocent!
Silence! You may not speak!
Awaken
Are you deaf? I must be freed
Take these cuffs off me
I must be freed
I have no witnesses, but as you can see
This man's a psycho; it's his word or mine
Before you accuse me
Wipe the blood off your hands
Are you saying I could kill?
Don't be so ignorant, this is a man of God
Won't you hear out my defense?
There's no valid evidence
Your word has no value!
Hear me out, I'm innocent!
Silence! You may not speak!
Awaken
Are you deaf? I must be freed
Take these cuffs off me
I must be freed
We need no jury, they all see the same
Punish this sinner, he has done the crime
Time is running out
You must make the call
Send him to his death
I've said I've done nothing wrong!
There's been no good evidence
To prove that you have done the crime
But the offence is clean-cut
And you're no use to society
I now sentence you to your death
You will now be burnt alive
If you were so innocent,
At least you are of no value
Burn now for the mistakes you've made
If wrong, I'll still be justified
