(Chorus)
I'm the Night Stalker, fear me in the dark,
Hail Satan, leave my mark.
Pentagram on the wall, blood on the bed,
I kill for the thrill and the voices in my head.
No mercy, no face, no name you know,
Just another shadow in the LA glow.
Night Stalker... comin' for you.

(Verse 2)
I like the pretty ones, the ones who pray,
Tie 'em up, make 'em watch while I take it all away.
Old ladies, young girls, husbands shot dead,
I force 'em to say "I love Satan" before I paint the walls red.
Raped 'em in front of their kids, laughed while they cried,
Took their jewelry, their souls, left 'em there to die.
Ran through the streets with the cops on my tail,
But the devil protects me, I never fail.

(Bridge)
They caught me in '85, mob tried to beat me down,
But in that courtroom I just smiled and held my pentagram up proud.
"Hail Satan!" I screamed while the cameras flashed,
Thirteen dead, maybe more, but they’ll never know the half.
I loved every second, every scream in the night,
The power, the fear, the pure delight.

(Verse 3)
Now I’m on death row but I’m never really gone,
My face still haunts the nightmares from dusk till dawn.
Girls wrote me letters, sent pictures in the mail,
Even behind bars the devil don’t fail.
LA still remembers the summer I owned,
When every light left on kept the Night Stalker from their home.

(Final Chorus )
I’m the Night Stalker… still walkin’ in your mind,
Hail Satan… one of a kind.
Pentagram forever, blood never dries,
I’m the evil that lives behind your eyes.
No escape… no place to hide…
The Night Stalker’s always right outside.

(Outro )
Sweet dreams, baby…
See you tonight.
Hail Satan.

(Verse 1) I creep through the city when the sun goes down, Long black hair, pentagram upside down. AC/DC blastin' in my headphones loud, I'm the devil's son, baby, lost but proud. Windows open easy, doors never stay locked, I slip inside quiet while the family sleeps, shocked. Knife in my hand, .22 by my side, Time to wake 'em up and watch the terror rise. (Chorus) I'm the Night Stalker, fear me in the dark, Hail Satan, leave my mark. Pentagram on the wall, blood on the bed, I kill for the thrill and the voices in my head. No mercy, no face, no name you know, Just another shadow in the LA glow. Night Stalker... comin' for you.
