Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
You know you ain't going anywhere You spend all your time singing your blues You know you ain't going anywhere You've always been a good friend of mine Your heart it bids farewell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself Or is that what you're trying to do? Put up the fight you believe to be right And one day the sun will shine through You've always got something to hide Something you just can't tell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah You know what you're wishing for Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world, yeah You've always been a good friend of mine Your heart it bids farewell The only time you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well, yeah No, everybody has a dream, yeah Oh no, no, no, oooh I wish you well, yeah I know, know All you're looking for is love |

Heart beat is rapid
Your blood pumping faster Hands reach for the blade Touch her Feel her Your body it craves her She leads you to your grave She's an image all dressed all in white No, you know you want her now Casting a spell Her power on you You'd leave but you don't know how White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control Wrapped and enraging I use to maintain it Do you want some more? Give her your money Sell her your soul The deadliest of whores Wicked white demon Is staring at you Controlling all that you say and you do Sweating intensely The music's much loader On the glass is a poison powder White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control She is now your only master Your whole life's a complete disaster Don't you dare Let her in As your final chore White Witch White Witch Poisoning you White Witch White Witch Coming for you White Witch White Witch Taking your souls White Witch White Witch Taking control Taking my soul Taking control |

When The Crowds Are Gone
by Savatage I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone All my friends have been crucified Made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive, my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone When the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing the saddest song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn 'em on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay Turn 'em on again (repeat) I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play The parts I play And the light Turn then off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see |

The lights come on
The set is down The curtain's flown away To all you creatures of the night I say it's time we play We'll show you things That in your life You'd never dreamed you'd know So now before the ghosts arrive It's welcome to the show Minstrels, kings, explorers Fantasies on order Ghosts and dreams awakened Stories long forsaken The minstrel and the sorcerer Are switching their disguise The jester drinks and starts to think That he alone is wise The governor and journalist Exchange a judas kiss And now before the song is done The plot begins to twist Ghosts and lost explorers Fate with all her daughters Saints and hopeless sinners Wise men in their winters Know Welcome to the show Welcome to the show Welcome to the show Welcome to the show His life was nearly over As he stood upon the beach Thinking about death and the ocean While still safely out of reach And he held there in his hand A well worn hourglass And though the sand was still inside Soon this too would pass Then he knelt to touch the water Where the waves would gently fall Thinking here I touch the ocean And the ocean touches all For from a line of countless sailors He was the last man of his kind And the world had changed around him He had no mountains left to climb And his last name was Magellan A descendant of the same Or so he said in late night bars Though few believed his claim And so he now talked with the ocean As he had often done before But now the waves spoke back to him As he walked along the shore For eighty years plus seven He had been upon this earth And all of them but eight He'd spent on that ocean since his birth But he was not the only one Who walked along this coast There was a lady old and pale To some nearly a ghost She had once been a great beauty It was rumored in some bars When she'd left here many years before To become a movie star But every wish is not to be Ahh this in time she learned And when her final chance had passed Back here she had returned And everyday at six o'clock She came to a small cafe And had herself a glass of wine And then she'd walk away To others she was gray and old Not the beauty she'd been before But it did not matter what she was What mattered was what he saw And so for near three years now He'd watch her everyday And though they always were so close He felt so far away For he could never quite arrange The words inside his mind That he could say to make her stay And he was running out of time He could not find the words to say To such a work of dreams And so he watched her walk away And always stayed unseen |

Out of control don't need no more I'm feeling mean dressed in leather It's a screamer City nights Trashing all the sites When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Alright All the king's horses And all the king's men Could never put me back together again I guess the action wins How could this all begin? It is time for just one more line When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out I'm washed out It is time for just one more line When will this night come to end Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out Washed out |

The warrior stands alone Visions of the fighting past A thousands tales are told Immortal Let the battles of street life begin Don some leathers and chains They live their life And they feel their own pain The times that is chilling their bones And they can't get away Alone in the cold Watching night turn into day Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world On the streets they are roaming the night Out to claim their domain One more Pointless battle With nothing to gain And life is a hell for them Living with the shadows of death Scratching and clawing Till no souls are left Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world They call the streets of hell their home They're not alone A thousands tales are told The streets of hell their home Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world |

Chills rattle through my bones The way she looks it shocks me Standing at the door that leads below There's a light at the end of the hall Can I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual In a daze I turn to run A thousand steps to her arms Does she really want to touch me I see it in her eyes See it in her eyes No I follow through very slowly When I get there she's gone She's unusual So unusual I know some things can't be right Ghostly visions of delight She tells me of a better life The way she looks it blows my mind silhouette cast in time Temptress of the night is calling me Does she really want to touch me I can see it in her eyes Snakes of fire hypnotize her Seductress of lost lives There's a light at the end of the hall CAn I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual She's unusual So unusual |

Each man has a soul
That struggles to escape And in the shallows of his dreams We can often see its wake For we all have our secrets That we all keep deep inside Away from light, in darkest night Where it's always safe to hide Away from all that we should meet Less someone else should share That thing that hides inside our soul That we pray was never there And out upon that ocean A lifetime from the shore Miguel stood his night watch Recalling everything he saw For he was a deckhand Aboard the "maersk dubai" He had sailed her round the world From hamburg to sendai But this trip had been different More than any he had known For on board there was an evil And the evil had been shown For halfway through this voyage They had found two stowaways That the captain had thrown in the sea And left them to the waves And when he tried to close his eyes And pretend he did not know The evil did not go away But used the time to grow For later on that same trip They found a stowaway once again But the captain soon met this one too And brought him to the same cold end He wondered what that boy thought inside Before that final sleep When water was all that was around And his lungs had screamed breathe deep He wondered what went through his mind As he gasped for air And the last moment when he prayed for help To find nobody there He wondered to himself If he could have been the one To stand up at that moment And say this cannot be done To stand up to the captain And say this thing it cannot be But there is nothing closer to god on earth Than a captain on the sea And he was just a deckhand With no right to plead the case Of this stranger in their midst And so he kept his place And what is done is done And undone cannot be And so he pushed it from his mind And stared out across the sea |

Looks in the mirror And sees what she wanted to be Safely unknown To anyone near her She sees what she wanted to see And turns to me And turns to me And turns to... She was prophesied For an early slide Followed it to the letter Well kept beauty queen If there, always seen Still you thought she'd know better No erasing The time you're wasting But when you're wasting You don't care All those pieces In short term leases But when you need them They're not there For all those moments of yesterday She's traded every tomorrow And now all those moments are so far away Ghosts haunt each word she would say As she walks among the decay She had Oscar Wilde's Timeless sense of style As had been her intention Still she was afraid Time must be repaid And there'd be no redemption Youth and time collide She could not decide On a certain direction Time was catching up Carefully made up She avoided detection For all those moments of yesterday She's traded every tomorrow And now all those moments are so far away I saw it too Closer than you What else is there left to say Wait for me now I will be there for you This I will vow If you still want me to But it won't be This I have always known And in the dark There's no one to pray for me now I don't understand what I'm feeling tonight I don't understand but I'm waiting Searching the shadows that fade in the light But I'm feeling alive Trying to survive Float with the tide Till you arrive and I.... |

Is this what god has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last We nailed it to the past With every word a trap That no one can take back From all the architects Who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night Has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers?

As he stood upon the watch deck Looking out onto the sea It would offer no solutions Only silent company So he took hold of the reasons As he tried to understand But they offered just confusion As they bled into his hands Dear God Couldn't you decide What should happen to a man's assassin Dear God Is it suicide I have never been a man of passions I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear There are wounds that bleed inside us There are wounds we never see They are part of our refinements That allow a man to be There are wounds that bleed in silence With aristocratic grace There are tears we keep beside them Never seen upon a face Dear God Do you think it's wise To remember everything that's ever happened Dear God Could we compromise Or must the shadows of this night be everlasting I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead As I contemplate this stand What I do Is who I am I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear Don't see the storms are forming Don't see or heed the warning Don't hear the sound of tyrants Surrounded by the silence Columbus and Magellan and De Gama Sailed upon an ocean In a world of ignorance With thoughts so primitive That men were killed With no more will Than that they simply had the notion But in this world of heartless men This thing they never did Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it-acap |

Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah This is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah |

Here on this night
Behind walls made of stone Where no one can enter and The dark dreams alone But now someone's entered The walls are defied The shadows they watched While the dark sympathized But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes The mind can imagine The dark can deceive And here on this night Together they weave A shadow's repentance A forgotten life All brought together In the mercy of night But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes |

As he stood upon the watch deck
Looking out onto the sea It would offer no solutions Only silent company So he took hold of the reasons As he tried to understand But they offered just confusion As they bled into his hands Dear god Couldn't you decide What should happen to a man's assassins Dear god Is it suicide I have never been a man of passions I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear There are wounds that bleed inside us There are wounds we never see They are part of our refinements That allow a man to be There are wounds that bleed in silence With aristocratic grace There are tears we keep beside them Never seen upon a face Dear god Do you think it's wise To remember everything that's ever happened Dear god Could we compromise Or must the shadows of this night be everlasting I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead As I contemplate this stand What I do Is who I am I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear Don't see the storms are forming Don't see or heed the warning Don't hear the sound of tyrants Surrounded by the silence Columbus and magellan and de gama Sailed upon the ocean In a world of ignorance With thoughts so primitive That men were killed With no more will Than that they simply had the notion But in this world of heartless men This thing they never did Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it Got to keep it underground Pretend you never heard a sound If they find it kill it blind it If they find it kill it blind it Lord tell me what is to be Lord tell me what is to be They whisper and I hear |

Jesus
What's the reason For these scars that will never heal Hearts that no longer feel Eyes that can no longer see Jesus What's the reason For this child that will not survive With all her dreams inside Could she mean nothing to thee And jesus please tell me if you can recall Just where you were when this sparrow did fall Jesus What's the reason Every tear isn't weighed the same Could you have died in vain If we have short memories And jesus would you then come down from your cross Return every nail and say we are lost And in the dark we seek your silent company For each hope that arrives and fades from memory Still after all this time our loss you won't concede For in the dead of night the rumor is Your hands they still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Jesus It would seem then That somehow you still trust You have more faith than us Perhaps that is how it should be |

I know you're all alone tonight
And I hear your cries From the world that lies Beyond these lives You've got dreams inside They cut I know Cut so deep but you never show That's the price you pay That's the price you pay Is your soul on the line my dear As you take your bows To a silent crowd That never hears Close your eyes for now And leave your rage Take my hand and walk the stage That's the price you pay That's the price you pay That's the price you pay That's the price you pay There's no need to worry Cause you have tomorrows Another phase of life has begun Am I getting through to you? Can your mind reach beyond tonight I believe your love for life Will never die So my child you ask What does this mean Cut the chains and chase the dream That's the price you pay That's the price you pay That's the price you pay That's the price you pay Ooh yeah That's the price you pay When you come here to play |

Standing alone by the edge of a river
He's traded his life for a glass full of tears The bargain was quick for one's life is less dearer When the sand's running out and the ending is near The ending is near The ending is near The ending is... The man climbed aboard and set sail for the ocean He put on the mast all the canvas she'd take Then laid himself down on the deck neath the tiller The ship was his coffin this moment his wake Runaway reasons Runaway seasons Time is a treason That I give back to you now The wind touched the sail and the ship moved the ocean The wind from the storm set the course she would take From a journey to nowhere towards a soul on the ocean From the wake of magellan to magellan's wake Runaway reasons Runaway seasons Everything in it Hours and minutes You take tomorrow Because it means nothing To me To me To ... In the dark he heard a whisper Asking him to understand In the desert look for water On the ocean look for land In the dark he heard a whisper Asking him to understand In the desert look for water On the ocean look for land And there in the waves Was a man in his grave That he saw in the night 'Tween the flashes of light And he Could not be there And all he had prayed Or had given away He now found to be wrong In the grip of the storm And he Could not be there Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more And all at once the heavens bled their fire The anchor broke the chains they flew away And suddenly the waves were reaching higher And in the dark I thought I heard them say Could you keep our lives together Safely back onto the shore Could you grant this last illusion Only this and nothing more Everything I ever had for one more tomorrow Everything I ever had for just one more night And if this is not to be I pray could I borrow Just another final hour onto my life Did you ever really want to Did you ever really want to Lord, tell me how it will be Lord, tell me how it will be Standing once more by a boat on a river He pushes it off while he stays on the land And seeing the hourglass now so much clearer Which someone had refilled by hand And somewhere that boat's now adrift on the ocean The mast at full sail and there's no one on board The hourglass no longer sits by the ocean Only his footprints all alone on the shore And soon they're no more No more No more |

When in your life did you surrender
Late in the night do you remember What were the dreams that you betrayed then Would you go back if you could save them now Did you believe there was something more Waiting behind some forgotten door Or was that all long before You felt the pressure grow inside your brain Where every nerve is on fire You start to wonder if you're going insane It's not a fate you desired Time is running down Moments of reason that we hope to find Are we a thought somewhere in god's mind A work of art that he has never signed No Children and mirrors have no memory They reflect us for that is all they see They are the us that is still yet to be And so we carry on The clock is ticking and your growing afraid That the end will be violent You walk the edges all around your own grave And the gods they are silent Or can not be found Searching your mind for correspondence from Joseph and mary and their only son Is their silence something you have done No And in the end what have you defied To end up so nearly crucified Just let me know when you decide That all hope is gone Come and see him dying For it's really quite a show Walking on a wire Though he never seems to know Even when he's falling You can see a little smile Figures that he's flying Only for a little while The ground is rushing towards him But he never sees it there Lives his life in pieces Always taking every dare What will be the ending Well i'm sure that i don't know The ground is getting closer Come and see the show See the show See the show See the show |

Where nothing is real But oh how real it feels There were times I lost my way I was alone, lost in a haze Where are you now I'll find you somehow And do I stand alone Like a fool out in the rain Hanging on somehow To an ancient vow Where there's nothing left to gain And do you know How it feels inside To be all alone A fool and his pride Scars are the wounds that we show Time only heals If you're letting go Many right I'd lay awake Tossing and turning till daybreak Where are you now I'll find you somehow In a summer's rain [4 times] Sometimes you got to believe Beyond yesterday I'm gonna find my way In the summer's rain |

As darkness falls so hard The children play .. Somewhere Out there Alone and out of place Streets of illusion Sooth the shattered fate I've been a runner I've been a sinner I've been inside my head I sit here staring Never quite caring And this is where it has led [Chorus] These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake Somewhere out there Gardens bloom and grow Children awaken To a world they know Somewhere the sun shines Somewhere the light's kind Somewhere they seek the day Somewhere there's no scene Somewhere the air's clean But somewhere is so far away These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake .... Welcome children From the other side In the darkness Your eyes are opened wide Here there are answers On the edge dancers Here the night hides out sins And if you listen While the streets glisten Here's where our story begins These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake |

Somewhere in this universe of lost forgotten dreams
The silence weaves a tapestry of once enchanted themes The shadows listen carefully and question what it means For stories have lives of their own But what good's a story whose end is unknown Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me Where the night still offers amnesty And the ending is tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile The darkness covers everything and carefully watches all It hides behind the storm's lightning and cushions every fall And everything it witnesses it always can recall Like things that the heart can regret Bury in time and then try to forget Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me While the night still offers amnesty And the ending is still yet to be tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile |

He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized But we were young and bold And he was mostly old And his time nearly done He came back from a war On some forgotten shore And sat and watched the world And never said a word And so I asked for one Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun He fought for things so clear And never thought hed fear A brother or his child Or killing having style Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun And now he only hears And his eyes they only tear So tread most carefully For hes still listening Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating hat was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun |

from Savatage - Streets (1991)
Hey there Lord it's me I wondered if you're free Or not asleep This just won't keep It seems I just don't see Why all the things we asked Or prayed would come to pass Have gone unheard Like silent words That slip into the past For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried It isn't you don't hear There's far too many tears Or can't you feel Are we unreal To one who knows no peers You say we must pay dues But still I am confused I need to walk And with you talk Instead of to statues For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried You take all the fame But who'll accept the blame For all the hurts Down here on earth Unnecessary pain For surely you must care Or are you only air Built in out minds When we're in binds And never really there (Bridge) And can we be tired of you Is that something that we're allowed to do For even the blind change their view And it's time we tried something new And so I pled my case I'll now pull my escape Didn't mean to doubt What it's about Seems I forgot my place But if you find the time Please change the story line Or give a call Explain it all I'll even leave the dime |

So what can I tell you
If life's the length of this play Perhaps God gave the answers To those with nothing to say The years are forgiven If God's forgiving and kind Perhaps we'll all find the answers Somewhere in time Somewhere in time You were never one for waiting Still I always thought you'd wait for me Have you from your dream awakened And from where you are what do you see Which of us is now in exile Which in need of amnesty Are you now but an illusion In my mind alone you breathe You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed Till inside a rain swept night you just let go You're thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending of the play The grand design The final line And what was meant to be In the dark a distant runner Now has disappeared into the night Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from this end into your life You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed Till inside a rain swept night you just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending of the play The grand design The final line And what was meant to be |

Hey there you
Way out there in the distance Can you hear me Are you there I know it's late So please forgive my persistence But I'm hanging Do you care So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep Hey there you Way out there could you show me Just a signal Or a sign That after all All these years that you've known me And I'm not just killing time So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak But I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep As I lay there late at night Building castles in the air Out of alibis and all those little lies And then I look inside And pray that I don't care I don't care I don't care Hey there you way out there in the distance |

On the sea
They heard the voices sing Through the storm The island's closing in They'd heard tales Of lives lost at sea Deserted beach just beyond their reach You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for man tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Nine men made it to a shore A night of terror Lies neatly in store Who are those women? Are they real? Is this just a crazy dream? You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for flesh tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Terror happens quickly Remains till the sailors are gone They vanished in the night Sirens singing their song Whoa -- till they're gone...

She's got shotgun innocence
In her eyes so intense Never sure of her intent She's a Paris pretty child Even got a wink that's styled Keeps it all behind a smile Look into those worldly eyes And you've got to wonder what she's done No use thinking you can win her Cause this child's already won And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved She don't need designer dress Has them all though I would guess Got the wardrobe of the blessed Cover of a magazine Movie star, beauty queen All wrapped up and razor clean Locking up with paradise Is really so much harder than it seems See her as a revelation Much more safely visited in dreams And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved So you find you're dreaming about her But it's such a little vice And if you think you've got a chance, boy Well it's time to roll the dice Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid, yeah Hold tight, yeah Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved Before it's too late Shotgun innocence Innocence |

Starts to drop to her knees Gazing with an appetite Licks her lips in sheer delight She's one of a kind A sight for sore eyes It's all the needs to be happy I bet she never knew It would taste so good No she's in love I knew she's in love Oh no she's in love Oh yeah she's in love She just loves to please Kiss of life her specialty Oh how well she knows Just how to make it grow She's one of a kind A sight for sore eyes It's all she needs to be happy No she's in love I knew she's in love Oh no she's in love Oh yeah she's in love |

He's chasing you down the alleys of death
Where many have died, and where you will breathe your final breath Your pulse starts to quicken, blood runs to your head You start to feel sick by the thought of becomin dead Scream murder, he's coming for you Blade in his hand, he knows what to do, yeah Scream murder, what can you do? No one to help, it's just him and you He brings harm to your senses of fear A feeling that will not disappear, as the bells of midnight toll Where can you run to? Where can you hide? This feeling has built up inside He's gonna take it all away!!!!!! How his alley resembles the morgue Can you hear the pounding of the doors? That is his house, he's gonna get you today Scream murder! The last words you say Scream murder, he's coming for you Blade in his hand, he knows what to do, yeah. Scream murder, what can you do? No one to help, it's just him and you H's gonna get you! Alright!! No!!!!!!! No!!!!!! Get away!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!! |
