This track is instrumental.
I remember it as plain as day, although it happened in the dark of the night I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting to rain And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime But all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Vite before the killers go free There’s some people coming down the street, at last there’s someone heard my call I can’t understand why they’re pointing at me, I never done nothing at all But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone’s shouting at me I can’t speak French so I couldn’t explain and like a fool I started running away Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free And now I’ve gotta get away from the arms of the law All France is looking for me I’ve gotta find my way across the border for sure Down the south to Italy Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I’m never going home Well I made it to the border at last but I can’t erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I’m moving through the shadows at night, away from the staring eyes Any day they’ll be looking for me ‘cause I know I show the signs of Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free? It took so long and I’m getting so tired, I’m running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help, it’d get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it’s on my mind that my doctor said I’ve done it before Murders in the Rue Morgue They’re never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I’m never going home

Oh yiah, i-yah! Oh… i-yah! Oh… yah! Oh! I-yaah! Uh yiah! You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack Scream for mercy, he laughs as he’s watching you bleed Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night I have no one, I’m bound to destroy all this greed A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me, hahaha… I can see What a knife’s meant to be You’ll never know How I came to foresee, see, see My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties The glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light I have found you and now there is no place to run Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done? Uh yeah! I’ve done it again You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack Scream for mercy, he laughs as he’s watching you bleed Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs, uh look out, I’m coming for you A-auh!

Listen to me Lamia, listen to what I’ve got to say I’ve got these feelings and they won’t go away I’ve got these fears inside that’ll bring me to my knees Oh, help me Lamia, or I’m sure I’ll die, oh please I feel unsettled, now I know that I’ve done wrong Messed around with mystic things and magic for far too long I feel I’m being paid with this nightmare inside me Devil’s got a hold on my soul and he just won’t let me be I’m on my knees Oh, help me please I’m on my knees Help me please Oh Lamia, please try to help me Devil’s got a hold of my soul and he won’t let me be Lamia, I’ve got this curse, I’m turning too bad Devil’s got a hold of my soul and he’s driving me mad oh Oh Lamia, please try to help me Devil’s got a hold of my soul and he won’t let me be Lamia I’ve got this curse, I’m turning too bad Devil’s got a hold of my soul, he’s driving me mad oh
