Forcing affliction on those who can't resist
What kind of madness leads men to this?
Guilty members of a lunatic fringe
Faith so enthralling, let's start a murder binge
Interrupting chaos of someone else's fantasy
Breaking into the vision of a blood-drenched monogamy
Putting yourself between the hammer and the nail
Clueless of the mortal, the degenerate will assail
Is their life worth it? To gamble with your life?
Not knowing any info, especially the price
Not a family member, or even that of a friend
To a faceless icon, you move to defend
Acting like you're superior in almost every way
Time to put up or shut up, now this is your day
Better have some rage to draw from, I know this
Or have some free advice, mind your fucking business
Interfering, indiscreetly
Must stop this completely
Obstruction of this action can be the only way
Not counting on fellow patrons, fearful, frozen, they stay
Isolated and frantic, the perp's eyes turn solely to you
Adrenaline spilling over, righteous violence, ready to imbue
Disregard of consequence, too late for any advice
Only a deathly annoyance, killing him will suffice
You think you're up to the moment, get ready to find out
Fear that has immobilized others from joining this bout
Not knowing if he is alone, tunnel-vision, oblivious
Now you are committed, facing what comes from this
Who's grave?
Purgatory of outcome
In a hero's grave
A hero's grave
No rules left for me
Last rites, now we'll see
Shock and awe, you bear witness
Deed is done, the wretchedness
Prideful, spiteful, anxious
Your britches seem too big
Regret, too late, you're spent
A hero's grave to dig
