Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In calculated silence
Captivated by the violence I replay
Fifteen years ago today
Oh, an evil evolution
Will bring a feeble institution to its knees
Oh, doctor, can't you see?
[Verse 2]
That when the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
[Verse 3]
These are the devil's eyes
[Verse 4]
A former portrait of perfection
Painted without plight
Now Haddonfield's my battlefield
Your kids won't make it home tonight
With a madness void of reason
I kill with every strike
I'll haunt you day after day
Knife after knife
Taking life after life
[Verse 5]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
[Verse 6]
You'll learn a heartless human harvest
Feeds this festival of flesh
Stalking at the top
Scream of the crop
A silent cut above the rest
Where blood's thicker than water
I've carved up quite a scene
With your worst fears cast on this white veneer
I'll change the face of Halloween
You can't kill the boogeyman
[Verse 7]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
[Verse 8]
All units respond
Multiple fatalities reported on Orange Grove Ave
Suspect has been identified as one Michael Myers
He is armed and extremely dangerous
Shoot to kill, I repeat, shoot to kill, over
[Verse 9]
I am the shadow where there once was light
Strangling all signs of life
It's either you, or some kid down the street
The choice is yours
Trick or fucking treat!
[Verse 10]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
