|
Town clock echo splits the night, |
|
The witching hour moves even closer to the brink of time that is at hand. |
|
Sound of heels pound the street from the curse that rules the town. |
|
Chill of death has come to reap the damned. |
|
For years ago he went away and now he's back to claim |
|
The unsuspected souls to justify his death. |
|
Oh, foolish one, you'd best make haste. There is no time |
|
To contemplate. The hammer brings the twelfth and your last breath. |
|
He's the one who holds the night in the hollow of his hand. |
|
Evil reigning ruler of the dark |
|
Striking with a furious urge, a thunderbolt from hell. |
|
Everything he touches bears his mark. |
|
Seeking no amusement in any lovers foolish games |
|
But go ahead and let them all begin. |
|
He lives his life in malice, not a single night in shame. |
|
Burning bright the everlasting flames of sin. |
|
I'm a man who shows no mercy for the weak. |
|
No mercy! [Repeat] |
|
Dangling at the end of your rope, can't you see it's 'round your neck |
|
Desolation of another kind. |
|
Your head's in heaven flying high. Your heart's in hell burning lust |
|
Infatuation's always in your mind |
|
You're the perfect sinner, yes, the one who stabbed me |
|
In the back. You've got no guts, just like the rest. |
|
Thrust my blade in, give a twist, tear a scream from your lips. |
|
One o'clock takes your final breath. |
