Bewitched Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As he enters your home, no turning back
A soldier of Satan, determined to win
Slashing your throat with an infernal grin
Honouring the Devil with human lives
Possessed by demons, on evil he thrives
"Swear on Satan, swear you won´t scream"
A reign of terror, people living in fear
He's walking in shadows, the stalker is near
Corpses are left battered, stabbed, shot and raped
no one can escape the Night Stalkers fate
A pentagram in blood is left at the scene
The mark of the Beast, showing where he´s been
A servant of Satan, living for sin
Lucifers child, Hellfires burning within
[DEDICATED TO RICHARD RAMIREZ]
The song "The Night Stalker" by Bewitched illuminates the gruesome crimes committed by Richard Ramirez, who was a notorious serial killer in the 1980s. Ramirez was also known as the "Night Stalker" because he would break into people's homes at night and brutally murder them. The lyrics describe Ramirez's appearance and modus operandi, as he prowls the streets dressed in black, enters homes unnoticed, and slashes his victims' throats with an infernal grin.
The song also highlights Ramirez's allegiance to Satan and his demonic possession, as he takes human lives to honor the Devil and thrives on evil. He forces his victims to swear on Satan that they won't scream before he kills them, leaving them with only his maniacal laughter and the knives' gleam as the last sounds they hear. The chorus is a chilling reminder of the reign of terror that Ramirez instilled in people, walking in shadows, leaving corpses battered, stabbed, shot, and raped, and leaving behind a pentagram in blood as a mark of his presence.
The lyrics of "The Night Stalker" by Bewitched provide a haunting portrayal of Ramirez's crimes, depicting him as a servant of Satan who lives for sin, and Lucifer's child with Hellfires burning within. The song is dedicated to Richard Ramirez and serves as a reminder of the horror and fear he inflicted on people during his reign of terror.
