Lyrics
There's a man (a man) with fear in his mind
A person insane with the power to unwind
There's a feeling (a feeling) he held inside
A feeling he tried to hide
Over time, he set to cut himself loose
To sell his soul to the forces of evil
To make the truth
A deranged voice whispers from the deep
A voice he's got to remember, to keep
Haunting him to the end of time
He knows what's wrong if he leaves a sign
He knows what's wrong if he leaves a sign
To commit a crime, he's got to kill
It pushes hard to give him the will
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
The pain has gone, it doesn't hurt
But what pain has he inflicted
From his blood-stained shirt?
His eyes flicker and his hand begin to twitch
The evil voice says: "Turn on the switch"
He's got to control his next attack
He's got to control this evil pack
He's not responsible, what's happened to him?
Why should he do this? He's committed no sin
His mind goes to blank, remembering
His Michael, his wife, their daughter, maybe his son
Now is the time to rid this evil foe
The ultimate end so that no one will know
The ultimate end
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
Lying in bed, he's silent and still
Thinking to himself: there's no need to kill
The only thing left is to take his own life
To waste his body, maybe with a knife
Thinking of the pain he cannot fight
One slash from his wrist, there's a murder in the night
A murder, a murder in the night
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
A person insane with the power to unwind
There's a feeling (a feeling) he held inside
A feeling he tried to hide
Over time, he set to cut himself loose
To sell his soul to the forces of evil
To make the truth
A deranged voice whispers from the deep
A voice he's got to remember, to keep
Haunting him to the end of time
He knows what's wrong if he leaves a sign
He knows what's wrong if he leaves a sign
To commit a crime, he's got to kill
It pushes hard to give him the will
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
The pain has gone, it doesn't hurt
But what pain has he inflicted
From his blood-stained shirt?
His eyes flicker and his hand begin to twitch
The evil voice says: "Turn on the switch"
He's got to control his next attack
He's got to control this evil pack
He's not responsible, what's happened to him?
Why should he do this? He's committed no sin
His mind goes to blank, remembering
His Michael, his wife, their daughter, maybe his son
Now is the time to rid this evil foe
The ultimate end so that no one will know
The ultimate end
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
Lying in bed, he's silent and still
Thinking to himself: there's no need to kill
The only thing left is to take his own life
To waste his body, maybe with a knife
Thinking of the pain he cannot fight
One slash from his wrist, there's a murder in the night
A murder, a murder in the night
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
Oh, he's done that terrible deed
Oh, he's made that human bleed
Oh, it's dark and there's no one in sight
There's a murder, a murder in the night
