"You think that when you die you go to heaven. You come to us."
While you sleep, they hunger for blood
waiting in the shadows.
Poised to bring about the misery.
They won't die, they are eternal.
Catch your breath, make no sound.
They've come to make their rounds.
Silence the fear inside.
Clasp your hands, kneel down and pray,
hoping to see another day.
But you know what they've come to do.
Their time is now. No time for you.
Avert your eyes from the shadows.
Cast yourself into the light.
They hang you from the gallows.
Laughing as your life drains away.
Bring your god. Bring your crucifix.
Nothing's gonna save you.
I'll see you waste away in hell.
Now you know what's inside me.
Catch your breath, make no sound.
We've come to make our rounds.
Silence the fear inside.
Clasp your hands, kneel down and pray,
hoping to see another day.
But you know what we've come to do.
Our time is now! No time for you!
Avert your eyes from the shadows.
Cast yourself into the light.
You're hangin' from the gallows.
Your life will slowly fade away.
