The native people of Australia are able to sing law breakers to death; this song is sung for those that deserve and attract it most.

sing another lamentation
songstress
milk my heart of all its sorrow
hum a haunting melody
until my tears flow
in torrents and form
raging rivers of regret
free my soul from its
protective shell
allow sadness
to overtake my being
enable me to absorb
all the pain and injustice
the world has ever known
enable me to dispense sweet
vengeance (justice) on the guilty
and scent the star-spangled prey
for the hounds of hell to track
let me haunt their dreams
and disturb their sleep
sing them to distraction
endow me with the secret
remove them from existence
let poison rain on their heads
and land
whisper secret spells in their ears
and deafen them to reason
empower me with the anguish
of every lost love and every
soul robbed of life and joy
allow me to deliver their reward
let the cry of every murdered child
and the shattering scream
of massacred innocents
find a means through which
retribution can be exacted
crucify the LIE
so the culpable
may surely DIE
SING, my demon lover
sing until the blood
freezes in their veins

This is Lethal Beauty. Dark Arrows of retribution cannot find their targets soon enough.
