Lyrics
Stabbing In The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In calculated silence
Captivated by the violence of the play
Fifteen years ago today
Oh, an evil evolution will bring
A feeble institution to it's knees
Oh, doctor, can't you see?
That when the hands of fate fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate I don't the devil's power
These are the devil's eyes
The devil's eyes
Go!
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
Day after day
Knife after knife
Taking life after life
When the hands of fate fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate I don't 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
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 carved on this white veneer
I'll change the face of Halloween
You can't kill the boogeyman
When the hands of fate fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate I don't 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
(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)
I am a 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 fuckin' treat!
(Michael, stop it!)
When the hands of fate fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate I don't 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
