Lyrics

    rise up
    son of man
    new york city son of sam
    with a gun in hand
    he reapes the women of our land

    blood and family
    darkness death depravity
    keep out of his way
    live to lie another day

    (with a.44 gun to shoot her down, down)

    he was told to kill
    dogs and demons gave him will
    spirit roaming night
    sullen vampire hating light
 
    nobody wants him
    he just stares at the world
    planning his vengeance
    that he will soon unfurl

    now the time is here
    for son of sam to spread fear 
    father holy ghost
    wicked son who kills the most

    nobody wants him
    they just turn their heads
    nobody helps him
    now he has his revenge

    gunshots full of lead
    fill his victims full of dread
    running as fast as they can
    son of sam kills again

    down, down, down
