Dark night nothing to see Invisible hand in front of me Scared to death there's someone near Scared to move but you can't stay here You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, the snakebite kiss Devil's grip, the iron fist Flying horse don't make a sound Flying hooves don't touch the ground Walk in circle lose your track Can't go on but you can't go back You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, you can't resist Devil's grip, the iron fist Moon eclipse and you know why Ghost rider in the sky Beast of evil devil's hound Tooth and claw they pull you down You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, the great white kiss Devil's grip, the iron fist
