Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They called me the smiling Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back"
Can you hear how the children weep?
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
I bring flames - I bring cold
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Blood Red Sandman
Coming home again
Red drops stain satin so white
"The way I sign my name"
The neighborhood's pretty dead at night
"And I'm the one to blame"
Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
"No-one leaves
The Monsterican Dream"

They called me the Leather Apron
I was labeled as the notorious killer Leather Apron
They called me the smiling Jack
People recognized my face as the grinning man, Jack
They prayed to the heavens above
That I would never ever come back
I was so feared, people begged to the gods I never returned
Can you hear how the children weep?
The cries of the innocent children haunt and echo in my ears
Chills of fear like a sawblade cutting deep
The terror I invoke in others is like the sharp, biting cut of a saw
Once again there is pain
When I arrive, pain and suffering follow in my wake
I bring flames - I bring cold
My presence sparks flames of destruction and brings icy coldness to the air
I'm the Blood Red Sandman coming home
I'm the killer known as the Blood Red Sandman, and I'm returning to my domain
On this unholy night I will make you my own
Tonight is a night of evil, and I will make my victims mine
Blood Red Sandman
The Blood Red Sandman, the feared killer imposing his will on the world
Coming home again
Returning to the place where I am most feared and revered
Red drops stain satin so white
The blood of my victims stains the pristine white of their clothing
"The way I sign my name"
I leave my signature mark on my victims in a gruesome fashion
The neighborhood's pretty dead at night
The area is quiet and lifeless due to my past actions
"And I'm the one to blame"
I'm the one responsible for the deathly silence of the neighborhood
Scream all you want you won't wake up when you scream
Even though my victims scream and cry for help, it won't save them from their fate
"No-one leaves
The Monsterican Dream"
Once caught in my deadly grasp, nobody can escape the horrors of the world I've created - the Monsterican Dream

Bana Deri Önlük dediler
Bana Gülümseyen Jack dediler
Cennetin üzeri için dua ettiler
Asla geri dönemeyecektim
Çocukların nasıl ağladıklarını duyabiliyor musun?
Korku titremesi, bir testere gibi derin kesiyor..
Bir kez daha, acı vardı.
Alevler getiririm, soğuk getiririm,
Ben Kan Kırmızısı Uykuperisi, eve geliyorum
Bu dine aykırı gecede, benim olacaksın.
Kan Kırmızısı Uyku perisi tekrar eve geliyor
Tekrar eve geliyorum!
Kırmızı damlalar sateni bembeyaz lekeler,
Adımı imzaladığım yol.
Komşuluklarım gece öldü,
Ben kabahatli kişiyim.
Çocukların nasıl ağladıklarını duyabiliyor musun?
Korku titremesi, bir testere gibi derin kesiyor..
Bir kez daha, acı vardı.
Alevler getiririm, soğuk getiririm,
Ben Kan Kırmızısı Uykuperisi, eve geliyorum
Bu dine aykırı gecede, benim olacaksın.
Kan Kırmızısı Uyku perisi tekrar eve geliyor
Tekrar eve geliyorum!
Tüm istediklerin için feryat et, feryat ettiğinde uyanamayacaksın
Kimse bırakmaz.. Monsterican Rüyası..
Çocukların nasıl ağladıklarını duyabiliyor musun?
Korku titremesi, bir testere gibi derin kesiyor..

@JohnnyRandom89
this band is actually quite talented and original, their sound is quite original.
@Amaranthos2
This whole thing is utterly epic, but 2:44 - 3:00 is absolute chills.
....And then they drop the key change on your head right after? Doesn't get any better than that.
@MetalStormGames
100% with you, that synchronized foot stomping then key change is just sick
@kkorrrnerrrrr
YES
