Lyrics
| Presumed Lyrics |
| (Verse 1)
He’s so cruel (he’s so cruel) This mystical person of the human race They never see the death in his face Dark and night (dark and night) In dark places is his way Waiting on his girl to prey Come with me We’ll have a good time Take my hand And you'll be mine (Chorus) Down a dark place I will take her Then I shall give chase For my murder (Verse 2) Heard her voice (heard her voice) Into his trance they had fell We view his passion straight from hell Dying scrеams (dying screams) Love intent is not to happеn It’s not to please this red-faced demon (Saxophone Solo) (Verse 3) And he fooled (and he fooled) All his friends and people ‘round him Tecs and their investigation Past refound (past refound) Shade of green 'cross the room Pictures of dead bodies loom (Chorus) Down a dark place I will take her Then I shall give chase For my murder Down a dark place I will take her Then I shall give chase For my murder Down a dark place I will take her I shall give chase For my murder |
