Ice Nine Kills
Stabbing in the Dark
[Intro: Spencer Charnas]
In calculated silence
Captivated by the violence I replay
Fifteen years ago today
Oh, an evil evolution
Will bring a feeble institution to its knees
Oh, Doctor, can't you see
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
That when the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power?
[Refrain: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
These are the devil's eyes!
The devil's eyes!
Go!
[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
A former portrait of perfection
Painted without plight
Now Haddonfield's my battlefield
Your kids won't make it home tonight
With a madness void of reason
I kill with every strike
I'll haunt you day after day
Knife after knife
Day after day
Knife after knife
Taking life after life
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Both]
You'll learn a heartless human harvest
Feeds this festival of flesh
Stalking at the top
Scream of the crop
A silent cut above the rest
Where blood's thicker than water
I've carved up quite a scene
With your worst fears cast on this white veneer
I'll change the face of Halloween
You can't kill the boogeyman!
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
[Soundbite]
"All units respond
Multiple fatalities reported on Orange Grove Ave
Suspect has been identified as one Michael Myers
He is armed and extremely dangerous
Shoot to kill; I repeat: shoot to kill, over"
[Bridge: Spencer Charnas]
I am a shadow where there once was light
Strangling all signs of life
It's either you or some kid down the street
The choice is yours
Trick-'r-fuckin'-treat?!
[Soundbite]
"Michael!
Stop it!
Ahhhhhh!"
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlick]
When the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
If there's life in the shadows
Let the knife leave its mark
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
