[Verse 1]
Reflections of dead, torn eyes
Sharpening that famous knife
The glory for which he yearned
Cry out, he's returned
Hot blood shall flood the streets again
[Chorus]
Late at night, spreading fright
A deadly bait, there's no way to escape
Accept your fate, beyond the blade
[Guitar solo: S. Genozider]
[Verse 2]
The phantom's around once more
Rumors behind closed doors
Shadeless, he's on your back
A figure all cloaked in black
Anguish to breathe down their necks again
[Chorus]
Late at night, spreading fright
A deadly bait, there's no way to escape
Accept your fate, beyond the blade
[Guitar solo: S. Genozider]
[Bridge]
The blade, so scorching hot
To still its need for blood
Beware its deadly gleam
Black gloves are drowning your screams
[Guitar solo 1: M. Outlaw/S. Genozider/M. Outlaw/S. Genozider/M. Outlaw]
[Verse 3]
Another one found dead
His throat is widely spread
Left on the streets to rot
While gutters fill with blood
The switchblade covered in red again
[Chorus]
Late at night, spreading fright
A deadly bait, there's no way to escape
Accept your fate, beyond the blade
[Outro]
Beyond the blade, blade, blade
Beyond the blade, blade
