Judgement was swift, it came It came without warning As the black moon rises once again Another murder on a downtown street In the stone cold December wind One step to heaven Lord, no No, too many temptations to sin The world keeps spinning round, racing with the wind Light in the dark unseen, we're biting the bullet again Lies and promises, sick of man's inhumanity to man Why should such a peaceful man Die by the bullet of the assassin's hand ? Brother, brother give me shelter from the storm There's something missing in our world Trodden down by the uniform archaic Methods of rule Never to laugh again The walls came down to break the curse Not a moment too soon The world keeps spinning round, racing with the wind Light in the dark unseen, we're biting the bullet again Lies and promises, sick of man's inhumanity to man Why should such a peaceful man Die by the bullet of the assassin's hand ? Take a look inside yourself Don't cast aspersion to what you think, others are worth Make your choice, believe in what you must A guiding hand may sometimes betray your trust The world keeps spinning round, racing with the wind Light in the dark unseen, we're biting the bullet again Lies and promises, sick of man's inhumanity to man Why should such a peaceful man Die by the bullet of the assassin's hand ? No more lies No more lies for promises As the world keeps spinning round No more lies, no more lies, no more lies We're racing with the wind Biting the bullet again Sick of man's inhumanity to man Why should such a peaceful man Die by the bullet of the assassin's hand ? The life is stolen, taken for granted Stone cold, concrete and steel The cutting edge unchained without a warning Brother, brother give me shelter please Nothing has the fury of a loaded gun In the hands of a madman Nobody seems to learn from passed mistakes As the world keeps turning around Judgement comes swift and deadly to those Who are in the wrong place at the wrong time Lies and promises I'm sick of man's inhumanity to man Why should such a peaceful man Die by the action of the assassin's hand ?
