A schizophrenic disaster
Hit Wisconsin in 1985
No one could prevent
Because nobody knew
That one had a pleasure to kill
A psychological failure
Was the Reason for being so cruel
No Respect for Humanity
Just praising the dead
And everytime it began with the whip
Then came the killing
A demand of bringing death
Then came the killing
Mutilation and then you`re dead
Three more killings
And everything broke loose
Panic was spread across the land
The Police stood helpless
All traces were lost
And it seemed like it would never end
But then he did
What all of them do
The final and fatal mistake
Murdering in Panic , a Reaction of Fear
Bringing it all to an end
Then came the killing
A demand of bringing death
Then came the killing
there is no way to escape from death
A schizophrenic disaster
Hit Wisconsin in 1985
No one could prevent
Because nobody knew
That one had a pleasure to kill
But then he did
What all of them do
the final and fatal mistake
Murdering in Panic
A Reaction of fear
Bringing it all to an End
Then came the killing
A demand of bringing death
Then came the killing
There is no way to escape from death.
