THE WAIT IS OVER, THE WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED
INNOCENCE CONFIRMED, THE BLAME WILL BE SHIFTED
TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AND ELEVEN DAYS HAVE PASSED
JUSTICE FOR THE NINETY SIX WAS ALL THAT WE ASKED
CONTINUAL PAIN AND OCEANS OF TEARS
HAVE BEEN BORNE BY THE FAMILIES FOR ALL OF THOSE YEARS
MAYBE TONIGHT THEY’LL GET SOME WELL EARNED SLEEP
INSTEAD OF LYING IN BED AND CONTINUING TO WEEP
OVER LIES ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES THAT SIMPLY WEREN’T TRUE
PERPETUATED BY THOSE WHO DIDNT HAVE A CLUE
TWISTED BY THE CULPRITS TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS
WHO BLATENTLY LIED TO DISTORT THE FACTS
THEY TRIED TO HIDE BEHIND THE ESTABLISHMENT’S CLOAK
WHICH WAS SO DESPICABLE, IT WAS THE WORLD’S SICKEST JOKE
THESE WERE THE PEOPLE WE LOOK UP TO AND TRUST
BUT THEIR ACTIONS WERE CRIMINAL AND TOTALLY UNJUST
OUR LOVE FOR THE LOST SOULS COULD NEVER BE MEASURED
PRESERVING THEIR GOOD NAMES WAS ALL THAT WE TREASURED
THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TOOK UP THE FIGHT
AND THE ESTABLISHMENT TREMBLED BECAUSE OF THEIR MIGHT
DESPITE ALL THE KNOCK BACKS, THEY NEVER GAVE IN,
DEVOTED AND DETERMINED TO CLEANSE THIS EVIL SIN
THIS BLIGHT ON JUSTICE, THIS AFFRONT TO HUMANITY
STRAINED THEIR RESOLVE AND OFTEN THEIR SANITY
BUT DETERMINED AND FOCUSED THEY STILL CARRIED ON
TILL THIS EVIL BESMIRCHMENT WAS RIDICULED AND GONE
UNFORTUNATELY FOR SOME, IT COME AT A COST
BUT THE CRUSADE CONTINUED AND ALL WAS NOT LOST
NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO, THEY GOT A REPLY
AN APOLOGY FROM CAMERON, BUT THE FLAME DIDN’T DIE
INSTEAD IT BURNT BRIGHTER INSPIRING US ALL
TO CLEAR ALL THEIR NAMES FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL
FOR THE FIRST TIME IT SEEMED, THINGS WERE MOVING OUR WAY
AN INQUEST WAS CALLED, THERE WAS PLENTY TO SAY
THE EVIDENCE WAS HEARD, IMPARTIALLY ADJUDGED
NO MORE LIES THIS TIME OR STATISTICS FUDGED
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, WHICH WE HOLD SO DEAR
GAVE US ITS VERDICT. LOUD AND CLEAR
UNLAWFULLY KILLED, NO SUPPORTERS TO BLAME
SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICE AND THE SUN, HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME!
DUCKINGFIELD, BETTISON, YOU’RE BOTH A DISGRACE
AS ARE MACKENZIE AND INGHAM SO DONT SHOW YOUR FACE
TO THE PEOPLE OF LIVERPOOL EVER AGAIN
YOUR LIES AND DISTORTIONS HAVE CAUSED TOO MUCH PAIN
YOU’VE LOST CREDABILITY, REPUTATIONS IN TATTERS
THE TRUTH HAS COME OUT NOW AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS
SOON YOU’LL BE ACCOUNTABLE, AS WILL OTHERS
WHICH MAY BRING SOME SOLACE TO THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS
OF NINETY SIX SOULS WHO NEVER RETURNED TO
THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS, WHO, TO THEM, REMAINED TRUE
BY CLEARING THEIR NAMES AND SHATTERING THE LIES
OF THOSE IN AUTHORITY WE CAME TO DESPISE
