The night is cold, dark and bleak, and there are hours to go before I sleep.
Gone, gone away is freedom’s light, empowering the perverse to their own delight.
But the time has come for them to die a terrible death, the time has come for their last breath.
Who first? I think about this as I pace, who first is to lose their face.
I ponder the landlord, the lawyer, the banker, the politician, who first to my knife’s fruition…
The night is cold, dark and bleak, and there are hours to go before I sleep.
The Landlord, mostly an inherited man, a man who gains wealth by another’s hand.
But the worst of this type, actually believes he is Lord and it is this man we can no longer afford.
So over his gate I climbed and into his house I did walk, and smiled at the splendor meant to make others gawk.
Soon it would be covered with red, soon this temple of doom would be a place of dread. The wife, the son, the daughter, the Man, I cut and peeled off their face according to plan.
The night is cold, dark and bleak, and there are hours to go before I sleep.
The Lawyer, is there one that won’t burn in Hell? Maybe one, the scriptures tell.
With so many of these to cogitate on, I decide who would not see the dawn.
A despicable little man, who lies as he breathes, and at the point of my blade he knelt on his knees.
“This is mad, I was just doing my job,” these were the words that he sobbed.
And he did sob, as the sharp steel cut his throat, no more would this creature gloat.
The night is cold, dark, and bleak and there are hours to go before I sleep.
The Banker, the man who takes from the poor and gives to the rich, then laughs in our face and says, “Ain’t that a bitch.”
Yes, Master Of The Universe, Man of Wall Street, it is my blade the you will soon meet.
And there he was taking a walk in the night, and on 5th Avenue he discovered his plight.
First I ran the bodyguard through in the middle, why him you ask, because the hired gun of the evil is part of the task.
The banker shrunk into the gutter, part of the trash, part of the clutter.
“I have money, a lot of money, I’ll pay for my life.” I stared at this pathetic being down in the street. “You exist for a number in an account and for this you must account. You are an abortion, you were born dead.” And then I put the blade, into his head.
The night is cold, dark, and bleak, and there are hours to go before I sleep.
Oh Politician, you are the ultimate betrayer, it is time for you to meet your anarchist slayer.
So many reasons for you to die, perhaps even more than the stars in the sky.
But really it is the promises that you break, it is for this most of all, your life we must take.
Who first? The man that calls himself the lawmaker, who is known by all to be the lawbreaker.
This loathsome whore gorges his belly full of ill gotten gain, while delighting at heart, of the hard workingman’s pain.
I found this devil asleep in a luxury hotel, so I raised my knife to send him to Hell.
Wait! No! This is too good for such feces, he must be an example for the rest of his species.
I returned that very night with knife, rope and gas can, everything necessary to put an end to this man.
I stabbed him, and he awoke screaming, “You can’t do this to me!” “I can, and soon you will burn, and swing from a tree”
Swinging, he kicked and hoped to detach, but there was no escaping my match.
The night is cold, dark, and bleak and there are hours to go before I sleep.
I pace back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, contemplating how many more of these evil oppressors must I purge, how many to put an end to this scourge?
All of them! Their blood must run like a river through the land…And until then, the knife is in hand.
