Gm                           Bm
The night is black, without a moon
    F                Gm
The air is thick and still
                      Bm
The vigilantes gather on
    F               Gm   Bb  Dm  C
The lonely torchlit hill

Gm Bb   Dm C

Gm Bb
                                     Dm   C
Features distorted in the flickering light
                                Gm
Faces are twisted and grotesque
Bb                                 Dm    C
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
                                    Gm
The mob moves like demons possessed
Bb                                 Dm    C
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
                              Gm  Bb
Confident their ways are best
      Dm  C
Ohhh

Ohhhhh

Gm  Bb    Dm  C (x2)

[Chorus]
F Gm
                   Dm C
The righteous rise    with burning eyes
   C  Bb  C   Bb  C    F  Gm
Of hatred and ill-will
Bb                     Dm   C
Madmen fed on fear and lies
   C    Bb  C    Bb  C     Gm
To beat and burn and kill

[Verse 2]
Gm                                        Bm
They say there are strangers who threaten us
    F              Gm
Our immigrants and infidels
                                        Bm
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
       F                      Gm
In our theatres and bookstore shelves
                               Bm
Those who know what's best for us
     F                         Gm    Bb
Must rise and save us from ourselves

[Chorus]

Dm  C

F  Gm  Bb   Dm  C

F  Gm  Bb
                         Dm C
Quick to judge, quick to anger
                   F Gm Bb
Slow to understand
                    Dm  C
Ignorance and prejudice
                           F  Gm  Bb
And fear walk hand in hand

Dm  C
