   The night is black
   Without a moon
   The air is thick and still
   The vigilantes gather on
   The lonely torch lit hill

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

   The righteous rise
   With burning eyes
   Of hatred and ill-will
   Madmen fed on fear and lies
   To beat and burn and kill

   They say there are strangers who threaten us
   In our immigrants and infidels
   They say there is strangeness too dangerous
   In our theaters and bookstore shelves
   That those who know what's best for us
   Must rise and save us from ourselves

   Quick to judge
   Quick to anger
   Slow to understand
   Ignorance and prejudice
   And fear walk hand in hand...
