Gm                             Bm
The night is black, without a moon
    F                 Gm
The air is thick and still
                      Bm
The vigilantes gather on
     F               Gm A# Dm C
The lonely torchlit hill

                                      Dm   C
Features distorted in the flickering light
                               Gm
Faces are twisted and grotesque
A#                                  Dm   C
Silent and stern in the sweltering night
                                   Gm
The mob moves like demons possessed
A#                                  Dm  C
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right
                             Gm A#
Confident their ways are best
    Dm C
Ohhh

Chorus:
    Gm             Dm      C
The righteous rise   with burning eyes
    C  A# C   A#   C  F Gm
Of hatred and ill-will
A#                     Dm  C
Madmen fed on fear and lies
    C   A#   C   A#   C   Gm
To beat and burn and kill

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

Chorus:
  A#                     Dm C
Quick to judge, quick to anger
                  F Gm A#
Slow to understand
                    Dm C
Ignorance and prejudice
                       F Gm A#
And fear walk hand in hand
