[edit] 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
gunshots full of lead
fill his victims full of dread
running as fast as they can
son of sam kills again
down, down, down
x2
