Dagger in the Night

She came to us from a far off land
Escaped from the grip of her oppressors hand
She was filled with righteous flames
She would cleanse the world of all its shame
She saw the world in a different light
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right

She believed she was justice
She believed that he was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right
To make things right

There was a man, and he oppressed the poor
It was all legal but what’s a law?
A crutch that supported a man so cruel
Why should she care for these unjust rules
But it was not the law she had to fight
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right

She believed she was justice
She believed that he was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right
To make things right

A young man came to the cities doors
Believed her tales, believed her war
He is a good man, and a little unsure
Murdering and killing what good is it for?
But still, the young man understood her plight
That all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right

She believed she was justice
He believed that she was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right
To make things right

She killed a man, for little in the middle of the bar
The young man wondered was this going too far
Was the woman a hero, the saviour of the town
Or a madwoman, someone needed to take down?
He began to see things in a different light
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right

She believed she was justice
He believed that she was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
But he was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right
To make things right

He believed he was justice
He believed that she was a monster
He was the judge and the jury
And he was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night
To make things right
To make things right
