Gary Hughes

Vigilante

Watch the skyline, the word is out

The contract on your head outweighs your life

Somewhere out there in the dark of night

A shadow is primed, his eyes as cold as ice

Your in the traps now, the cards are down

Your cries for mercy fall on stoney ground

You're lookin' down the barrel of a forty-five

A click as your life flashes blindly before your eyes

(Vigilante)

Now your prayer's only answer

(Vigilante)

Is a shot from a gun

(Vigilante)

As he draws back the hammer

Leavin' nowhere to run

CHORUS

Vigilante, no dice, heart of ice

Killer, graveyard filler, knows no mercy

Screams mean nothin', no point runnin' from the vigilante

You can't overcome him, can't out-gun him

Death in the darkness, invisible

Not even a deal with the devil can save you now

There's no emotion on his shapeless face

Inhuman, dead, immortal, shoots you down

(Vigilante)

Now your prayer's only answer

(Vigilante)

Is a shot from a gun

(Vigilante)

As he draws back the hammer

Leavin' nowhere to run

CHORUS

(Vigilante)

Now your prayer's only answer

Leaves you nowhere to run

Just a shot from a gun

CHORUS
