lyrics

THE VIGILANTE RULES

You can run away or plead and cry.
You won't get far but are welcome to try.

Keep in step and stay in line.
If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
Vengeance isn't your prerogative but mine.
You think you're out of reach but I'm in my prime.

I'm a punitive force within my own law.
I'll go to your house and smash down the door.
I'm a true nemesis for fiends incarnate.
You're a witch's cauldron bubbling with hate.

I always retain the moral high ground
With no uncertainty between wrong and right.
No shades of grey can ever be found.
By my rules there's only black and white.

I'm a punitive force within my own law…

If you're a foul miasma of evil
Don't be blasé or devil-may-care.
If you announce it when you hurt, steal or kill
I'll track you down with my thousand yard stare.

I'm a punitive force within my own law…

When you broke the rules the rules broke you.
When you joined the fools the fools lost too.
