Lyrics
(Heavy, driving guitar riff in the style of Johnny Cash, punctuated by a steady, insistent drum beat)
(Verse 1)
He walks the streets, a shadow in the day,
Sees it happen, over and over again,
A chilling wind whispers a vile display,
In the marketplace, the hunt begins.
(Verse 2)
Young girls tremble, under judging eyes,
He clenches his fist, a knot inside,
A serpent's tongue spins wicked lies,
On buses, trains, where virtue often hides.
(Verse 3)
He feels the shame, a brand upon his face,
These wolves in sheep's clothes, prowling low,
Part of the brotherhood, a cursed race,
Whispering promises, reaping what they sow.
(Verse 4)
He sees the glint, the hunger in their stare,
In crowded shops and dusty roads they tread,
A silent scream hangs heavy in the air,
Another innocent, filled with fear instead.
(Verse 5)
He wants to roar, to tear them limb from limb,
This silent rage, a fire in his core,
But knows that justice remains so grim,
While vultures circle, wanting something more.
(Outro)
(Music fades with a final, resonating guitar chord and a heavy drum beat)
He walks on, haunted by the sight,
A man ashamed, beneath the judging sun,
Praying for a day when wrong makes right,
Before the damage is completely done.
