Let the Punishment Fit the Crime Eye Slam Eye
Child killers
Sexual abuses
A wife beaten to a pulp
Becuase her husband was drunk
Someone's Grandmother
Robbed to provide a junkies fix
A war vetran
Conned out of his life savings
So he can't even pay for his own funeral costs
A charity coin collection box
A local shop dedicated to fundraising
For the perpetrators of said crimes
Should by the following rules abide
Let the punishment fit the crime
An eye for an eye
A life for a life
A bruise for a break
And a stake to drive through where there heart should be
Back to do the Devil's calling
Buried alive in hell
