|
Deep in the black hearted death of the night |
|
Watching your every move |
|
Driven by madness a voice in his head |
|
Telling him what he must do |
|
Watching and waiting for his chance to strike |
|
Another to add to his score |
|
Leaving a city to panic in fear |
|
Knowing that there will be more [Chorus:] |
|
Random and senseless his crimes |
|
His crimes are obscene |
|
Brutally skillful efficient and clean |
|
It curdles your blood knowing he's near |
|
Trapped in a nightmare - |
|
City in fear |
|
Night after night it's always the same |
|
Someone falls prey to his blade |
|
With daylight comes news that another was killed |
|
The trademark incisions were made |
|
No one is safe on the streets anymore |
|
The police no protection at all |
|
Taking your chances and living at risk |
|
Praying he won't come to call [Chorus:] |
|
Random and senseless his crimes |
|
His crimes are obscene |
|
Brutally skillful efficient and clean |
|
It curdles your blood knowing he's near |
|
Trapped in a nightmare - |
|
City in fear |
|
Then all at once the killings all stop |
|
As suddenly as they began |
|
Still there's no trace and the law can't believe |
|
They're no closer to finding their man |
|
Time will not heal the wounds he's inflicted |
|
Knowing that he's out there still |
|
Wondering when he'll make his return |
|
And who will be next to be killed [Chorus:] |
|
Random and senseless his crimes |
|
His crimes are obscene |
|
Brutally skillful efficient and clean |
|
It curdles your blood knowing he's near |
|
Trapped in a nightmare - |
|
City in fear |
