[Intro]
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]
That when the hands of fate
Fall on the midnight hour
Behind this mask of hate
I don the devil's power
[Post-Chorus]
"These are the devil's eyes"

[Verse 1]
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
[N.C.]
Taking life after li-ife
[Chorus]
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
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
Stabbing in the dark
