She came to us from a far off land
Escaped from the grip of her oppressor's hand
She was filled with righteous flames
She would cleanse the world of all its shame
She saw the world in a different light
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
She believed she was justice
She believed that he was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
All it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
There was a man and he oppressed the poor
It was all legal, but what's a law?
A crutch that supported a man so cruel
Why should she care for these unjust rules
But it was not the law she had to fight
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
She believed she was justice
She believed that he was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
All it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
A young man came to the cities doors
Believed her tales, believed her war
He is a good man and a little unsure
Murdering and killing, what good is it for?
But still, the young man understood her plight
That all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
She believed she was justice
He believed that she was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And she was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
All it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
She killed a man in the middle of the bar
The young man wondered, was this going too far?
Was she a hero, the saviour of the town
Or a madwoman someone needed to take down?
He began to see things in a different light
And all it took was a dagger in the nightto make things right
She believed she was justice
He believed that she was a monster
She was the judge and the jury
And he was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
All it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
He believed he was justice
He believed that she was a monster
He was the judge and the jury
And he was the executioner
And all it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
All it took was a dagger in the night to make things right
