Vicious and sadistic
Savages run rampant
Fear waits in the dark at every turn
The assailants
Brazen murderers
Evil floods the vacuum
Moral guidelines erode away

The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
Avenging wraiths
The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
A hail of lead

Enforcers of the law
Forced to operate
Above the law
For the sake of justice
Lives put on the line
Sweep the scythe to see
The wicked fall this time

The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
Avenging wraiths
The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
A hail of lead
Intolerant
For the unforgivable
Won't capitulate
To the enemies
Of a sane society
Exterminate the infestation
Black talons tear
Black talons tear

Beneath the palms
Moonlight gleams on metal roofs
Footsteps on broken pavement
Advancing to execute

The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
Avenging wraiths
The shadow rises
Against them in wrath
A hail of lead

Black talons tear
Black talons tear
Black talons tear
Black talons tear
