The Night Stalker
S.S. Lyrics

See the child, pentagram in hand
A child holding a pentagram is viewed as a bad omen

There's nothing that can stop him
The child feels invincible

Psychopathic mind, misdirected wrath
The child is driven by a deranged mind and misguided anger

Towards all who dwell around him
The child has hostile feelings towards everyone and everything around him

But they'll blame it on us
Society will blame the child's behavior on the music genre favored by the child

And our music
The music genre favored by the child

Throats and faces slashed
The child has committed acts of violence where he has cut open throats and faces

The raping it would last
The rape continued for a prolonged period

Into victims, dying
The child has killed the victims by raping and slashing them

He broke into their room
The child has invaded their private space

Sense impending doom
The victims could sense that something terrible was about to happen

Suspended animation
The victims were terrified and couldn't move

Enjoying the pain
The child derived pleasure from inflicting pain on the victims

Of his victims
The child finds joy in inflicting pain on people who fall under his wrath

Oh, Nightstalker looms
The Nightstalker - child holding a pentagram - is always near

Inside of drugs
The child is heavily influenced by drugs

Nightstalker, Nightstalker
Child referred to as Nightstalker

You'll blame it on song
Society will put the blame for the child's behavior on music

But you are wrong
The society's assumptions regarding the root cause of the child's behavior are baseless

What you don't understand
Society doesn't understand the child's true problems

And you can't comprehend
Society is incapable of understanding the root problems the child has faced

Don't you try to explain it
Don't offer a half-baked explanation to the problems and struggles the child has

Until you live alone
Until you've experienced living alone

And feel the coldness roam
And experienced the loneliness and bitterness that comes with it

Throughout your hollow soul
Experiencing loneliness can make you feel empty inside

The night convicts you once more
The society unfairly puts the blame for the child's behavior onto the music genre favored by the child

Like a bed traps a whore
The society's accusations are unjust and unfair - akin to trapping a prostitute into a bed to shame her

There's no escaping black instinct
There's no escaping the primal, base instincts within humans

You've damned the innocent to blame
The society has unfairly blamed innocent parties

Inflicting on us false shame
The society has imposed false shame onto innocent parties

Salem's children close to the link
The children of Salem - historically known for the Salem witch trials - are associated with witchcraft and are similar to the child holding a pentagram

So take a look at yourself
Society should take a look at themselves

And worry 'bout no one else
Society should be more introspective and worry less about the external factors that have led to this situation

Take a look all around you
Society should examine the larger picture around them

Maybe someone you know
There is a likelihood that someone within the immediate society has issues similar to the child's

Will need for you to show
They might need someone to guide them outwards

How it is that you found it
They will ask how one has found the light while navigating through similar issues
