[Intro]
BmIn calculated sBmilence
Captivated by the Emviolence I replay
Fifteen Gyears ago tF#oday
GOh, an F#evil evoBmlution
Will bring a Afeeble instiEmtution to its knees
Oh Gdoctor, can't you F#see?
[Chorus]
That when the Bmhands of Emfate
Fall on the Gmidnight F#hour
Behind this Bmmask of Emhate
I don the Gdevil's F#power
[Post-Chorus]
"These are the devil's eyes"

[Verse 1]
A former Bmportrait of perfection
F#Painted without plight
Now EmHaddonfield's my battlefield
Your Gkids won't make it F#home tonight
With a Bmmadness void of reason
I F#kill with every strike
I'll haunt you Emday after day
GKnife aF#fter kniGfe
F# F#N.C.
Taking life after li-ife
[Chorus]
When the Bmhands of Emfate
Fall on the Gmidnight F#hour
Behind this Bmmask of Emhate
I don the Gdevil's F#power
If there's Bmlife in the Emshadows
Let the Gknife leave its F#mark
When the Gcertainty of safety feels like F#stabbing
F#Stabbing in the dark

[Verse 2]
GYou'll learn a Bmheartless human harvest
Feeds this F#festival of flesh
Stalking Emat the top
Scream of the crop
A Gsilent cut aF#bove the rest
Where Bmblood's thicker than water
I've F#carved up quite a scene
With your worst Emfears carved on this white veneer
I'll Gchange the face of F#Halloween
GYou can't kill the F#boogeyman
[Chorus]
When the Bmhands of Emfate
Fall on the Gmidnight F#hour
Behind this Bmmask of Emhate
I don the Gdevil's F#power
If there's Bmlife in the Emshadows
Let the Gknife leave its F#mark
When the Gcertainty of safety feels like F#stabbing
F#Stabbing in the dark
[Sound Bit]
BmAll units respond
BmMultiple fatalities reported on Orange Grove Ave
BmSuspect has been identified as one Michael Myers
BmHe is armed and extremely dangerous
BmShoot to kill, I repeat, shoot to kill, over
[Bridge]
I am the Emshadow where there once was light
F#Strangling all signs of life
It's either Emyou or some kid down the street
The Gchoice is yours
F#Trick or fuckin' treat!
[Solo]
