Album:

The Puppetmaster

The shadows are thick and Old 
I'm searching the dark for my love 
Behind the Theater of Puppet Shows 
I find the stairs to the Cellar below 


Hiding where the shadows rule 
A door opens below 
The Moon is high above 
300 pounds of flesh, that woman I know 


Oh it's the Puppet Master's wife 
She pulls a cart behind her 
"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife? 


[solo: Mike] 


Time to kill, it's time for her nightly thrill 
Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife? 


Deep in the night through the narrowest streets 
I follow her every step 
She is searching for innocent victims 
"Oh Emerencia"
In an alley a homeless is sleeping 
Approaching without a sound...and then...oh no 


"How strange it is.. to see.. a life that slips away 
How strange it is.. in Darkness Blood is Black not Red"


[solo: Andy] 


The knife is still deep in his chest 
Gotta keep the Blood in its nest 
She wraps him in the sack she brought 
She better leave before she gets caught 


Through the streets dark and Old 
Through the streets, no one must know 
Only the Moon and I 
And none of us will ever tell 
She pulls the body off the cart 
Back at the Theater, down into the dark 
"Oh Emerencia", I wonder why you left the door ajar 


[solo: Andy] 


Deep in the night through the narrowest hallways 
I follow her every step 
There's a light from a doorway ahead of us 
Where did she go, where did she go...? Oh no 
What I see is a Horror Show...then the blow...
