Lyrics

    rise up son of
    man new york city son of sam with a gun in hand he reapes
    the women of our land blood and family darkness death
    depravity keep out of his way live to lie another day (with a
    .44 gun to shoot her down, down) he was told to kill
    dogs and demons gave him will spirit roaming night sullen
    vampire hating light nobody wants him he just stares at the
    world planning his vengeance that he will soon unfurl now the
    time is here for son of sam to spread fear father holy ghost
    wicked son who kills the most nobody wants him they just turn
    their heads nobody helps him now he has his revenge (down,
    down, down) gunshots full of lead fill his victims full of dread
    running as fast as they can son of sam kills again
