The Boogeyman's Debt

V6

[The Boogeyman's Debt] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] A letter arrives as the flowers all die, Helen’s last message was sent as a guide. A beagle named Daisy paws at the floor, The vintage Mustang waits behind the door. [ Pre-Chorus 1: Female Vocals ] The gift was a bridge to a life they could lead, Before a small heart was destined to bleed. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] When silence is broken by hands full of greed, It wakes a hunger no mercy can feed. The cost of the theft is a debt paid in bone, Some men are better just left all alone. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] Young Tarasov wants the car for his own, At the gas pump where the first seeds were sown. He breaks through the glass while the hallway is dark, To kill the beagle and snuff out the spark. [ Pre-Chorus 2: Male Vocals ] The car was stolen, the promise was crushed, Now voices of peace are eternally hushed. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The peace was a promise now shattered to dust, Replacing the hope with a cold lack of trust. No mercy remains when the bond has been torn, Only the shadows of worlds newly born. [Instrumental Break - Sweeping Orchestral Strings Swell] [ Bridge 1: Male Vocals ] The sledgehammer swings with a heavy-set sound, It shatters the concrete, deep in the ground. Beneath the gray dust, the black cases are found, That Mach One Mustang starts screaming around. [ Verse 3: Female Vocals ] Viggo warns son of the man they call death, The city holds onto a shivering breath. At the Red Circle where the glow is blue, The legend is coming to take what is due. [ Pre-Chorus 3: Male Vocals ] The gold has been spent and the target is clear, The sound of the footsteps is logic of fear. [ Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] The weight of the world is a burden to bear, The breath of a killer is scent in the air. The mercy is gone and the path is set deep, For secrets that shadows were destined to keep. [ Bridge 2: Female Vocals ] Gold Continental coins shine in the dark, Igniting the fuel with a singular spark. Underworld doors open up for the ghost, Back to the hunter, the life he hates most. [ Verse 4: Male Vocals ] The docks are the stage for the final goodbye, Where Viggo and Iosef are destined to die. The carnage is over, vengeance is real, A heart made of stone and a spirit of steel. [ Pre-Chorus 4: Female Vocals ] The debt has been settled, the city is still, Obeying the law of a singular will. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] Don't wake the sleeper from long winter sleep, Price of the waking is too much to keep. The lesson is written in blood on the floor, Don't ever go knocking on a dead man's door. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The engine fades out in the cool morning air, The husband is gone but the legend is there. Walking away from the weight of the chains, While only the soul of the beagle remains.
