Lyrics

    Son of Man
    Rise up Son of Man
    New York cities' Son of Sam
    With a gun in hand
    He reaps the women of our land
    
    Blood and family darkness, death, depravity
    Keep out of his way
    Live to lie another day
    
    With a .44 calibur gun
    To shoot her down, down
    
    He was told to kill
    Dogs and Demons gave him will
    Fear and roaming nights
    Sullen vampire hating light
    
    Nobody wants him
    He just stares at the world
    Planning his vengance
    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
    Fills his victims full of dread
    Running as fast as they can
    Son of Sam kills again!
         
    Down, down, down...
    Down, down, down...
