Born into a sceneOf angriness and greedOf dominance and persecutionMy mother was a queenMy dad I've never seenI was never meant to be.Now I spend my timeLooking all aroundFor a man that's nowhereTo be found,Until I find him,I'm never gonna stop searchingI'm going to find my manGonna travel round.
So long wrathchildYeah I'm a wrathchild,Hello wrathchildComin' to get youOooh yeah yeah
Some say it shouldn't matterAin't nothing gonna alterThe course of my destinationBut I know I've gotta findSome serious peace of mindOr I know I'll just go crazyNow I spend my timeLooking all aroundFor a man that's nowhereTo be found,Until I find him,I'm never gonna stop searchingI'm going to find my manGonna travel round.
So long wrathchildWell I'm a wrathchildYeah wrathchildComin' to get youOooh yeah yeah

I remember it as plain as day Although it happened in the dark of the nightI was strolling through the streets of Paris And it was cold it was starting to rainAnd 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 Run 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 allBut 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 lawAll France is looking for meI've gotta find my way across the border for sure Down the south to Italy
Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call 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

My life is so emptyNothing to live for.My mind is all confusion, 'Cause I defied the law.When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran.I never had no trouble before this all began.

I'm running away, no where to go.I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah...
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true.They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. Yeah...

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 victimsAre slaughtered with wrath and despise,The mocking religion of hatredThat burns in the night.
I have no-one,Am bound to destroyAll this greed.A voice inside me,Compelling to satisfy me.
I can see,What a life's meant to be.You'll never know,How I came to foresee.
My faith in believing is strongerThan lifelines and ties,With the glimmer of metalMy moment is ready to strike.
The death call arises,A scream breaks the still of the night.Another tomorrowRemember 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.
Yeah I've done it again!
He walks through the subwayMy eyes burn a hole through your back.A footstep behind youHe 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.
Look out I'm coming for you!

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.I've messed around with mystic things and magic for too long.I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me,The 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.The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be.Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad.The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. Oh

Thinking of an age old dream,Places I have never seen.Fantasies lived times before,I split my brain, melt through the floor.
Over clouds my mind will fly,Forever now I can't think why,My body tries to leave my soul,Is it me? I just don't know.
Memories rising from the past,The future shadows overcast.Something's clutching at my head,Through the darkness I'll be led.
Oh another time, another place,Oh well another smile on another face.When you see me floating up beside you,You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.
(guitar solo)
Please take me awayTake me awaySo far away.

Please take me awayTake me awaySo far away.

She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all,Because, you see, I can't take no shape or form.It's been three long years since I've been gone.
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry.I'll never know the reason why I had to go.Oh, oh, I'm crying,Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?Ah can't you see me?
I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it'sLike to be hanging on the other side.I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died.
I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone,Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone.Oh, oh, I'm crying,Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.Oh, oh, oh, can't you hear me?Ah can't you see me?
