Running through the streets
The silence is haunting you
You know they prepare to attack
Can't walk around, I got to beware
Keep in the dark, out of sight

Got to keep running, time's running out
Beware of the knife in your back
Victim of hate, no-one believes
Who cares what is wrong or is right

Screaming vengeance, I want to be free
Murder or treason, what's it to be

Stand and stare so silently
Death awaits so patiently
Priest approach, the rites are read
Wait to see, the blade will fall

Running like hell and into the right
Wait till the time is just right
People are screaming out for revenge
The price is a life for a life

Fighting and screaming
Bodies lie bleeding
Fires burn into the night
Years of restraint begin to decay
It's the law of the knife

The tide of power has turned
Now you are pleading, don't let me die

It's too late now
The angel of death hangs over you
Tears fill your eyes, you hear the blade slide
You're going to die
