Heart of a Killer
On the hours of execution A spiteful soul awaits his death Sobbing, he tries to tell them, that he wasn’t there Oh!... Psycho, how does it feel? Just think you’re about to die For the murders that you’ve committed The final judgment has been made Eight families will see their justice done Tears – from his pale blue eyes Can’t – mask hatred inside His fear – will not subside To death – he will succumb! Oh!... Psycho, now it’s time to go Just think, you’re gonna die We haven’t received the call We haven’t heard nothing yet The priest is here to give you your last rites The wages of sin is death (my son) You’ve gambled on your life I know it’s hard to see (my son) The light that shows the way! It’s the killer that’s kicking and screaming I don’t want to die (no, no!) Judge Cohegan – I’ll haunt from hell I’ll get you, I swear by my last words The wages of sin is death (my son) You’ve gambled on your life I know it’s hard to see (my son) The light that shows the way!

The doors open – Cohegan turns and stares He’s going to see the execution All eyes are not the guards as they drag the prisoner in The crowd’s uneasy in all the confusion Now Cohegan doesn’t look well And the sweat begins to pour Remembering as they reached the final verdict in the court His heart was pounding in his throat Down his arm – through his chest He wanted to be a judge (not God) Just then the prisoner breaks free Charging through the crowd screaming (you won’t get me) Tackling the judge with his hands around his throat It happened so suddenly – in a blink of an eye The judge’s body went limp in the prisoner’s choke hold Pulling Cohegan to him saying – you won’t take my soul Judge not or be judged yourself... Oh!... A shot rang out – the prisoner fell to the floor With Cohagan still standing – his heart could take no more Taking a deep breath, he let out one final sigh It happened so suddenly – in a blink of an eye...

Please relax and take a deep breath You’re about to go under Think about something peaceful before you sleep And soon it will be all over! I heard they found a donor at the last minute He was on his way to be executed for murder I even heard this is the judge that sentenced him to his death He must never know – where his heart came from! No, he must never know – heart of a killer We can never tell a soul – heart of a killer No, he must never know – heart of a killer We can never tell a soul – heart of a killer Judge, Judge Cohegan, oh, can you hear me? The transplant was successful – soon you will be up and walking You will be here with us – just a little longer Go back to sleep and then you are free to leave No, he must never know – heart of a killer We can never tell a soul – heart of a killer No, he must never know – heart of a killer We can never tell a soul – his heart, belonged to a killer Heart of a killer! Heart of a killer! Oh, no! Something’s wrong – why do I feel this way? What has happened – what did they do? Why am I fading away?

I awoke from a bad dream – just to live in a nightmare! It’s been six months – I still hear voices from the past! One by one they call to me, and say the killer lives His victims cannot rest in peace, until the heart is dead Why are they haunting me? Grim reminders of the brutal murders from seeing my reflection Everywhere I look I see the murderer’s obsession! A madman that stalked in the night living out of the fantasy’s rage Tortured the innocent in a mirrored room Seeking out pleasure from pain No one can hear the voices – calling to come nearer I only hope they’ll leave me alone when I look away from the mirror We search for all the answers as time slowly passes Life becomes less to me – after the horror glances I finally realize exactly what’s been done I received the blood and soul – the killer still lives on I’m remembering someone’s memories and I’m accused of being there! I’m the one who sentenced his death and justice has prevailed! No one can hear the voices – calling to come nearer I only hope they’ll leave me alone when I look away from the mirror We search for all the answers as time slowly passes Life becomes less to me – after the horror glances Oh... Oh... Oh!... The blade just stands there, in the corner of my room Guess who, Cohegan – here I am, again I brought along some toys of mine that might help you sleep Should I use a blindfold or let you watch as you bleed? Come now Judge, it’s only death Gripping the sheets, white knuckled and pale, Cohegan couldn’t move He gasped for air – his fingers went numb, the unholy terror grew No one can hear the voices – calling to come nearer I only hope they’ll leave me alone when I look away from the mirror We search for all the answers as time slowly passes Life becomes less to me – after the horror glances

Hey Cohegan - this is the end of your worthless life A shocking reality - it's a struggle within your mind It's a tug-of-war between innocent and guilt A question of your inner truth, a definition of yourself! The judge could not believe his eyes as the blade was coming nearer Frozen as if crystallized - there was no way to win A desperate act from a desperate plan a cry let out from an insane man Cohegan fumbled trough the drawer The lights came on Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced so he believe - he raised the gun with an angry stare and no regrets To terminate the eternity, to kill the silhouette His mind was wrecked but a tormented smile arose When the hammer slammed into steel unleashing a lethal dose The judge laid their denial as his kids stood in the hall it was then he realized his wife lay there dead Oh, she's dead The lights came on Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced so he believe - he raised the gun with an angry stare and no regrets To terminate the eternity - to kill the silhouette The lights came on Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced so he believe - he raised the gun with an angry stare and no regrets To terminate the eternity - to kill the silhouette.

Cohegan is arrested for the murder of his wife Cohegan stands in the courtroom with his fate in the jury’s hands We the jury; find the defendant, Mr. Cohegan, guilty of murder Guilty! As I write these last words – a message to my family I’m all alone – can you please forgive me? As the twilight fades into the distant sky A shooting star steals my breath away My one last wish is to feel loved again To have my heart freed, freed from sin Now I face my deepest fear Not of death or what’s beyond But the memories that left me disgrace Oh how my eyes deceive me Doesn’t anyone see? Is that the blade in the mirror or a reflection within? Is that the blade in the mirror or a reflection within? Walking through the darkness His last rites are read Asking for a mirror was Cohegan’s last request Oh how my eyes deceive me Doesn’t anyone see? Is that the blade in the mirror? It’s been a reflection within Oh how my eyes deceive me Doesn’t anyone see? Why isn’t the blade in the mirror? It’s been a reflection within Why isn’t the blade in the mirror? It’s been a reflection within Why isn’t the blade in the mirror? It’s been a reflection within Why isn’t the blade in the mirror? It’s been a reflection within Why isn’t the blade in the mirror?

In a creepy old house on a stormy dale lane There’s a rundown sing that says: Enter if you dares I opened the gates and took a deep breath And climbed down the decaying stairs... The chilling gray fog made it hard to see But I noticed the silvery moon A twisted little fellow, which I thought was a man Whistled a nightmarish tune He held out his hand and hissed for his fee Pointed the way then disappeared... It’s been too long – there’s no way out I’ll die in here – in the haunted house Glass walls consume – concealing my fate Is dying worth what I paid – in the haunted house It’s only a small price to pay for my fetish (A hellish scare) I entered for the first floor it reeked of death Cobwebs everywhere Down a dark hallway distorted faces on the wall Chanting my name, crying out loud It was more than real... Trapped in this maze of glass My soul’s been abandoned Now I scream your name Crying for help I call My voice is mutated Now I’m a twisted face on the wall... It’s been too long – there’s no way out I’ll die in here – in the haunted house Glass walls consume – concealing my fate

In the dead still night grows a plant so divine – that Atropa belladonna Puts the extract in her wine The goddess of man’s destiny On jealousy she feeds will cut the thread of live If the bitch she feels the need! Night shade, night shade This was man’s worst fear Deadly, night shade Just hope that it’s not here Dangerous women Who drop the berry juice into their lustful eyes? Gain the beauty that’s so heavenly But it’s the devil in disguise! Night shade, night shade This was man’s worst fear Deadly, night shade Just hope that it’s not here Alluring men to her bed While she has taken them in control She’ll strip his bones of his flesh And then she will take his soul Witches used the vines in symbolic rituals Stirring the black cauldron of boiling guts and skulls Sorcerers ate the leaves to propel them through the sky It grew around the castle walls in the dead still of night! In the dead still of night! Night shade, night shade This was man’s worst fear Deadly, night shade Just hope that it’s not here!

The ice has melted at the polar caps As Mother Earth gives in to destiny The warning signs already passed Cleansing all impurities The Earth rumbles like a growling lion Ready to feast its prey Stars are spinning in the sky as the night turns into day... Volcanoes erupt – spilling earth’s blood Belching out lava – destroys all intact Tidal waves crash – killing as much Flooding the land, changing the map Tornadoes touch down – reaping the whirlwind Leading to mass devastation Tremors throughout – the earth tilts to its side Leading to man’s extinction Darkened clouds all overhead Like thundering hooves of nightmares The sun now travels north and south Screaming in the air! Prophecies told a shift of the axis Killing all the evil from the world Just like Lemuria and Atlantis When a man destroys his heart, it’s cold Volcanoes erupt – spilling earth’s blood Belching out lava – destroys all intact Tidal waves crash – killing as much Flooding the land, changing the map Tornadoes touch down – reaping the whirlwind Leading to mass devastation Tremors throughout – the earth tilts to its side Leading to man’s extinction Volcanoes erupt – spilling earth’s blood Belching out lava – destroys all intact Tidal waves crash – killing as much Flooding the land, changing the map Tornadoes touch down – reaping the whirlwind Leading to mass devastation Tremors throughout – the earth tilts to its side Leading to man’s extinction Extinction!
