[Intro] "They always come back... They always come back... They always come back..." [Verse 1] I live in the shadows, I see what hides in the dark. Don't let it find you — It'll carve a permanent mark. The young man with a grudge, An old lady with vendetta. They both can bear arms, Out hunting to get ya. [Chorus] Run if you want to, But the night always knows. The grudge, the vendetta — They don't ever let go. You can lock all your doors, But it won't change a thing — When the darkness are watching, They'll be pulling your strings. [Verse 2] The young man with a grudge, Got a pistol in his hand, Eyes burning red Like the anger in his mind. The old lady waits With a blade in her coat, One prayer for forgiveness, One hand on your throat. [Chorus] Run if you want to, But the night always knows. The grudge, the vendetta — They don't ever let go. You can beg for tomorrow, You can cry, you can sing — But the darkness are watching, They'll be pulling your strings. [Verse 3] A preacher in the chapel, With a bottle in his fist — He hides from his dark past, But they still cut through the mist. A little girl laughing Down on Dead End Lane — They found her body last winter, But she's calling your name. [Bridge] Nobody's innocent, Nobody's clean — Every face in the crowd Got a nightmare unseen. You can't bury the past, It don't stay in the grave — It just waits in the dark 'Til you're ready to pay. [Final Chorus] Run if you want to, But the night always knows. The grudge, the vendetta — They don't ever let go. You can pray to your gods, But they won't hear a thing — When the darkness are watching, They'll be pulling your strings. [Outro] "They always come back..." "They always come back..." "They always come back..."
