No Compromise

In this city of shadows, I prowl alone at night, Dirty streets and crooked souls, hiding from the light. This city's afraid of me – it knows I see what's real, Behind a shifting inkblot mask, a broken man can feel. Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon, I'm the justice in the darkness, the voice of the unforgiven. In a world of black and white, I stand fearless and alone, They cry out for salvation, but I whisper "No" on my own. Once I was a weary soul until I saw the truth one day, An innocent lost to evil, and something inside me slipped away. God didn't save that little girl; we make this world cruel and wild, So Walter died that night; from flames Rorschach rose to make them pay. Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon, I'm the vengeance in the alleys, for the broken and forsaken. In a world of black and white, I carve justice into stone, They beg for me to save them, but I whisper "No" all alone. Now the end has come for me in this frozen land of white, A blue god stands before me, insisting this lie is right. They want me to stay silent, to live with a tainted truth, I tear off my mask and scream "Do it!"—I'd rather die than live a lie. Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon, I stood for truth and honor, though my final war can't be won. In a world of black and white, I refused to let it go, I'm scattered in the snow, but my soul still whispers "No".
