at night the streets become their sole domain
there's no escape no matter how you try
motorcycle, flaming eyes

that's the law now a badge and a gun
once they were there to defend and to serve
now controlling everyone
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law

we warn our children of the nightriders
you might not see them but they're always there
don't make mistakes for they don't understand
look into their eyes

you'll be caught now you're trying to run
see an escape but you won't get away
they ask no questions they reach for the gun
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law

from my roof I am watching the scene
see the beams of their lights in the dark
nightriders patrolling our dreams
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
