[Verse 1]
In the heat of '76, New York couldn’t sleep
A shadow walked the boroughs, and the silence ran deep
Six were left breathless, seven more scarred
The .44 caliber prophet preaching from a car
[Verse 2]
He said, “I am a monster. I am Beelzebub.”
Scrawled it on a letter, signed it with blood
“To the people of Queens, and all of New York,
I love to hunt. Pardon me if I talk.”
[Chorus]
I am the Son of Sam, I do it for the dog
The devil spoke to me through Harvey in the fog
“The world is full of filth,” he whispered from the flame
So I pulled the trigger, and you all knew my name
[Verse 3]
David Berkowitz, born in ‘53
Adopted and alone, just a boy diseased
Said he heard voices calling from the night
They told him to kill, said it felt so right
[Verse 4]
Donna and Jody, shot in their car
Christine and Valentina, never got far
Cops got the letters, “I’ll be back,” he swore
And the city froze behind each bolted door
[Chorus]
I am the Son of Sam, the fever in July
The Bronx to Brooklyn, I made the angels cry
“The demons dance inside me,” he wrote with no shame
I took their breath and left you with my name
[Bridge]
In Yonkers they found him, a parking ticket clue
His car held the shotgun and a chilling note too
“I am a soldier, I kill for my master,”
He smiled for the camera, darkness spreading faster
[Verse 5]
Now he sits in Sullivan, a Bible in his hand
Says he’s found Jesus and tries to understand
But the ghosts still wander where the blood once ran
Forever cursed by the Son of Sam
[Final Chorus]
I was the Son of Sam, I answered to the hound
Now I’m just David, hearing different sounds
The devil’s voice is silent, but the city still feels pain
When the summer wind whispers my name…
