lyrics

She came to us from a far off land,
Escaped from the grip of her oppressors 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. X2

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. X2

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. X2

She killed a man, for little in the middle of the bar,
The young man wondered was this going too far,
Was the woman 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 night
To make things right.

She believed she was justice,
He believed that she was a monster,
She was the judge and the jury,
But he was the executioner,
And all it took was a dagger in the night,
To make things right. X2

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. X2

Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
