The lonely torchlit hill
Gm Bb Dm C

Features distorted in the flickering light

Faces are twisted and grotesque
Bb Dm C
Silent and stern in the sweltering night

The mob moves like demons possessed

Quiet in conscience, calm in their right

Confident their ways are best

Ohhh
Ohhhhh

The righteous rise with burning eyes

Madmen fed on fear and lies

To beat and burn and kill

Must rise and save us from ourselves
