[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..."
