Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We took the alley in a blacked-out grin
Cheap brass dreams and a pocket full of sin
Then the dark got dense like wet cement
And one by one, my crew just went
No footstep, no shout, no warning sound
Just a cold shape moving underground
Vic hit first by the loading dock
Found his teeth in a crimson lock
I said, "Run," but my mouth went dry
Something watched us from the water tower high
All I saw was a cape and a knife-edge stare
Then Manny vanished in the staircase air
[Pre-Chorus]
He was there, then gone
Like a mean old prayer
He was there, then gone
And the dark got scared
[Chorus]
Under the cape
He takes them away
Under the cape
No light, no name
One by one
We break and pray
Under the cape
He takes them away
[Verse 2]
Rosa screamed from the busted van
Then the glass popped out of her hand
I saw her shadow crawl up the wall
Then nothing at all, just nothing at all
The sirens slept in another block
But my pulse hit hard like a prison lock
A black glove rose through the smoke and rain
And my whole damn spine filled up with pain
Jules kept laughing, thought it was a game
Till his grin got wiped by a whispered name
I couldn't see where the nightmare stood
Only felt it moving through the hood
[Pre-Chorus]
He was there, then gone
Like a mean old prayer
He was there, then gone
And the dark got scared
[Chorus]
Under the cape
He takes them away
Under the cape
No light, no name
One by one
We break and pray
Under the cape
He takes them away
[Bridge]
Now I count the cracks in the concrete wall
Count the breathing through the bathroom stall
Count the seconds till the shadow bends
Count the ways a bad night never ends
If he wants me, let it be fast
I can still hear feet in the broken glass
I can still hear my crew go thin
Like a door closing from the inside in
[Final Chorus]
Under the cape
He takes them away
Under the cape
No light, no name
One by one
We break and pray
Under the cape
He takes them away
Under the cape
Don’t look his way
Under the cape
He steals the day
One by one
We break and pray
Under the cape
He takes them away
