I Am the Law
Anthrax Lyrics

Fifteen years in the academy
He spent a long time training to become a judge

He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
He was very different from all the other cadets

A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
He was a very tough and unemotional person

And when he speaks he never says it twice
He is very clear and concise when he talks

They call him judge, his last name is dredd
His name is Judge Dredd

So break the law, and you wind up dead
If you break the law, you will be punished severely

Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
He believes in fairness and doing what is right

Judge dredd the man, he is the law
Judge Dredd is the embodiment of the law

With gun and bike he rules the streets
He patrols the streets on his bike and enforces the law with his gun

And every perp he meets will taste defeat
He always wins when he confronts criminals

Not even death can overcome his might
He is very powerful and even death cannot defeat him

Cause dredd and anderson, they won the fight
Judge Dredd and Anderson won the battle they were fighting

When the sov's started the apocalypse war
When the Soviets started the war that led to the apocalypse

Mega-city was bombed to the floor
Mega-city was completely destroyed by the bombing

Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
Judge Dredd and the other judges fought back against the Soviets

Crushed the sov's with their counter-attack
They successfully defeated the Soviets

Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
He worked hard and risked his life to earn his badge

Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because
If you are caught breaking the law, you may be sentenced to death

I am the law!
He is the law and he enforces it

And you won't fuck around no more - I am the law
People will no longer break the law because of him

I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I am the law
He treats everyone equally and they are all subject to the law

Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I am the law
Anyone who commits a crime will be punished by him because he is the law

Because in mega-city... I am the law
He has complete authority in Mega-city

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
In the area where mutants live

There is no law, just a living hell
There is no order and it is a terrible place to live

Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
There is violence and chaos in this area

But this would change if it was up to dredd
If Judge Dredd had jurisdiction in this area, he would bring order and enforce the law

The book of law is the bible to him
He takes the law very seriously and follows it strictly

And any crime committed is a sin
Breaking the law is considered a sin to him

He keeps the peace with his law-giver
He uses his gun, the law-giver, to maintain peace and order

Judge, jury, and executioner
He has the power to arrest, try, and sentence criminals

Crime - the ultimate sin
To him, committing a crime is the worst thing one can do

Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in
He will imprison criminals in the iso-cube

Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
He is at war with crime and will stop at nothing to fight it

Lead break crime - the ultimate sin
The guitar solo emphasizes the message that crime is the ultimate sin

Law - it's what he stands for
He is dedicated to upholding the law

Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
He will relentlessly pursue and fight against crime
