HEART SO BLACK

The moon, she hangs over Haddonfield
On this night of revel, eventual horror
Children disguised laughing and screaming
Because the Boogeyman is here at last

RUN - there's nowhere to hide
Murder in a heart so black
CRY - there's no one who cares
Murder in a heart so black

And the silence is deafening
All your suffering will not be in vain
And the violence is pretending
To be heartfelt when I sever your veins

Jack-o'-lantern grins and skeletons
Galore celebrate the becoming of the slain
Babysitters and party boys grope
Each other as their friends swing from a rope

HIDE - there's nowhere to run
Murder in a heart so black
BYE - it's your time to die
Murder in a heart so black

And the silence is deafening
All your suffering will not be in vain
And the violence is pretending
To be heartfelt when I sever your veins

let us sit for a spell
and have a heart to heart
i got a cold dead face
and knife for tonight
peer deep into my eyes
and have a knife to heart
these are the hands of death
on this halloween night

RUN - there's nowhere to hide
Murder in a heart so black
CRY - there's no one who cares
Murder in a heart so black

And the silence is deafening
All your suffering will not be in vain
And the violence is pretending
To be heartfelt when I sever your veins
