[Verse 1] He reads the dark like a prayer Tracks split by the shrine Three came in laughing Left their sins in a line He tightens his grip On the sword at his side A sigil on his chest And justice in his eyes [Pre-Chorus] Shadows grow bolder When the light grows thin He sees every lie That the wicked hide in [Chorus] The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) Deep in the fray Where the evil can’t stay The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) One true strike And the darkness obeys [Verse 2] He finds their fire cold By a circle of stone A blade by a skull And their oaths overthrown He hears them curse his name Through the smoke of their pyre Then his blade sings loud Shadow meets holy fire [Pre-Chorus] No mercy for the damned No bargain with the night He marks them by their sins Then he brings the light [Chorus] The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) Deep in the fray Where the evil can’t stay The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) One true strike And the darkness obeys [Bridge] He’s not a ghost He’s the last pure flame When the demons wear faces He calls them by name Strike by strike He tears them apart Till the night goes still With a sword through the heart [Final Chorus] The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) Deep in the fray Where the evil can’t stay The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) One true strike And the darkness obeys The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) Holy and sure Till blasphemers are through The Paladin judges you The Paladin judges you (judges you) If you harm the flock He brings justice to you
