[verse] You can hear em down the hallway~ Howling in the gloom A monster in his cage~ You think you’re safe now? Better think again! [verse 2 | rising intensity] He’s the jester of which you fear Feeding off your fallen tears A devil breathing in human skin— Is it him, or something deep within?! He’s got you locked down your soul is his to burn! (Hahahah!) You want a better shift? Ha! Get back in line! Still clinging to your innocence? He’ll take his sweet damn time! [chorus] La Muerte—step this way! La Muerte—come and play~ Come take this devil away~ La Muerte—harvester of souls! Save us from his grip— Prisoner six-sixty-six! [galloping guitar solo| dive bombs| E minor] [riff evens out] [verse 3] If the devil is him Then what can we do? If he’s far on the darkside~ We’re royally screwed So now that tale’s been told Big, bad and thrice as bold The prison walls crack and crumble as the chains give away! [chorus] La Muerte—step this way! La Muerte—come and play~ Come take this devil away~ La Muerte—harvester of souls! Save us from his grip— Prisoner six-sixty-six! [final chorus] La Muerte—step this way! La Muerte—come and play~ Come take this devil away~ La Muerte—harvester of souls! Save us from his grip— Prisoner six-sixty-six!
