Darkness is a hungry dog that follows me
Eternally howling, begging for a bone
Apathy's the only remedy
'Cause misery craves company
And I'd rather be alone

You were a light in the alley
But you were a little unlucky
Doin' the best that you could do
And you had the nerve to save me
Cause you saw a little good in me
So now I will avenge you

Humanity is a blind girl in the alley
And the bastard who took everything
Just because he could
Decency is the thug who saved a stranger
Even in the face of danger
Chose to do some good

You were the light in the alley
You came for me when I couldn't see
Fighting in the dark
The best way that I knew
And you had the nerve to save me
'Cause you saw a little good in me
So now I will avenge you

When they took your life
It pulled the fight right out me
Who knew I had it in me
To care about anything at all?
An eye for an eye, fighting tooth and nail
Trust nobody

Justice is a thirsty ghost devouring me
Satisfied only by the righting of what went wrong
Sympathy does nothin' for me
Cause it wont get you back to me
But I'm gonna bring you home

You are a light in the alley
Unveiling my unraveling
Alone in the dark
Afraid of what I might do
You had the nerve to save me
'Cause you saw a little good in me
So now I will avenge you
