Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy
He laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you
His blood lust defies all his needs
[Verse 2]
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one
Am bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me
Compelling to satisfy me
[Verse 3]
I can see
What a life's meant to be
You'll never know
How I came to foresee
[Verse 4]
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
The glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike
The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light
I have found you
And now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me
Oh God, help me, what have I done?
Oh yeah, I've done it again!
[Verse 5]
He walks through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy
He laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you
My blood lust defies all my needs
[Verse 6]
Look out, I'm coming for you!
